Uber & Lyft Accident Attorney | Georgia & Florida
Rideshare accidents involve complex, tiered insurance systems. We cut through the confusion and pursue every available avenue of compensation.
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation — and created an entirely new category of accident claim. If you were injured as a passenger, pedestrian, or driver in a collision involving a rideshare vehicle, the path to compensation is more complicated than a standard car accident claim.
Nwahiri Law understands the insurance structures, liability frameworks, and legal strategies specific to rideshare accident cases in Georgia and Florida.
Why Rideshare Accident Claims Are Different
Uber and Lyft both operate complex, tiered insurance systems designed to limit their liability exposure. The coverage that applies to your accident depends on the driver's status at the time of the crash:
App OFF
The driver's personal auto insurance applies. Uber/Lyft provide no coverage.
App ON, No Passenger (Available)
Uber and Lyft provide contingent liability coverage — typically $50,000/$100,000 per person/per accident for bodily injury.
Ride Accepted or Passenger in Vehicle
Uber and Lyft provide up to $1,000,000 in third-party liability coverage, plus uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Determining which coverage applies — and then actually recovering from it — requires legal knowledge of both state law and the companies' policy structures. This is exactly what we do.
