If your Uber or Lyft driver is not at fault for the accident, liability falls to the other driver. Despite riding in an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you need to look to the at-fault party for recovery of expenses for your medical bills and losses due to pain and suffering. This is not always an easy process because many drivers in Florida are uninsured or underinsured. Often, these drivers lack sufficient financial assets to pay your costs, even though they are liable. Understandably, this is frustrating.
Frequently, a better option when the other driver is responsible for an Uber or Lyft accident is to use your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. If you own a car and carry PIP insurance, it can be applied to costs and expenses sustained as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft accident. PIP insurance often covers the first $10,000 of medical bills and lost wages after these accidents, regardless of who was at fault for the collision.
Both Uber and Lyft are required to conduct local and national criminal background checks on their drivers, when the driver applies and every three years while an independent contractor for the company. Ride-share services must also maintain a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol abuse. These routine checks help ensure passenger safety, and a company’s failure to adhere to these and similar policies exposes them to more liability.

Florida drivers must carry $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP), which pays part of your medical bills and lost wages no matter who was at fault. When injuries are serious or permanent, you may be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for more.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy may pay. Florida does not require every driver to carry bodily injury liability coverage, so this coverage often matters.
For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury. Claims for wrongful death, medical malpractice and claims against government agencies follow different rules, so talk to a lawyer early.
Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.
