🚖 Blacklane – A premium chauffeur service that operates globally, often catering to business travelers, making accidents involving this service complex due to potential international liability issues.

🚖 Curb (formerly TaxiMagic) – This app allows traditional taxi drivers to compete with rideshare companies, but accidents involving Curb can create unique legal challenges due to the mix of taxi and rideshare regulations.

🚖 Uber – As one of the largest rideshare services in the world, Uber accidents involve complex insurance coverage disputes between personal insurance, Uber’s liability coverage, and third-party insurers.

🚖 Uber Eats – When a delivery driver causes an accident, victims must navigate Uber’s commercial insurance policies to determine liability and compensation eligibility.

🚖 Lyft – Similar to Uber, Lyft accidents require legal expertise in handling claims against Lyft’s tiered insurance policy, which varies based on whether a driver is offline, waiting for a ride, or actively transporting passengers.

🚖 Postmates – Now a part of Uber Eats, Postmates accidents can involve independent contractors who may lack proper commercial insurance, complicating injury claims.

🚖 DoorDash – A leading food delivery service, DoorDash accidents often raise questions about whether the company’s liability policy covers damages or if the driver’s personal insurance is responsible.

🚖 Amazon Prime Now – With an increasing number of Amazon delivery drivers on the road, accidents involving Amazon’s third-party contractors can lead to legal battles over liability and coverage gaps.

🚖 Instacart – Grocery delivery drivers working for Instacart may not always carry adequate insurance, making it crucial for accident victims to seek legal assistance in securing compensation.

🚖 Jayride – A pre-booked rideshare service catering to travelers, Jayride accident claims can involve complex jurisdictional issues if the driver or passenger is from another country.

🚖 RideGuru – This service aggregates multiple rideshare options, which means accident claims may involve multiple companies, adding layers of insurance and liability complications.

Whether you’re a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver, we fight to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Why Uber Accidents in Miami Are So Common

🚗 Rideshare Demand & Traffic Congestion – With Miami’s booming tourism and high demand for Uber rides, more rideshare drivers flood the streets, leading to increased traffic congestion and accident risks.

📱 Distracted Driving – Uber drivers constantly check their GPS, ride requests, and earnings apps, making them more prone to distracted driving accidents.

⏳ Driver Fatigue & Rush to Earn – Many rideshare drivers work long hours or rush through trips to maximize earnings, leading to reckless driving, speeding, and fatigue-related crashes.

🛑 Complex Insurance Issues – Uber accident claims involve different insurance policies, depending on whether the driver was off-duty, waiting for a ride, or actively transporting a passenger, making it crucial to have an Uber accident lawyer in Miami who understands rideshare insurance laws.

A look at Uber Delivery Accidents – A Growing Risk

The rise of Uber Eats, Instacart, DoorDash, and Amazon delivery drivers has further increased the risk of accidents in Miami. These drivers navigate busy streets in a rush, often distracted by delivery apps and focused on meeting tight deadlines. Many of these accidents involve pedestrians, cyclists, or other motorists, leaving innocent victims with serious injuries.

Additionally, with major retailers like Walmart expanding their home delivery services, Miami residents are seeing more commercial delivery drivers on the road, increasing the chances of accidents. While big corporations profit, victims of Uber and delivery driver accidents are often left to battle insurance companies for fair compensation.

When is an UBER / LYFT Driver at Fault for an Auto Accident?

A Look at Uber Accident Liability and Insurance Coverage – What You Need to Know

An Uber or Lyft driver may be found at fault for an accident if they act negligently while operating their vehicle, leading to a crash. If an accident occurs, a police officer will arrive at the scene to document the incident, and if the Uber or Lyft driver is found at fault, they will typically receive a citation for violations such as careless driving, failure to yield to oncoming traffic, or failure to yield the right of way. The police report and eyewitness testimony are often the two most crucial pieces of evidence in determining liability in an Uber or Lyft accident.

Common Parties Involved in Uber/Lyft Accidents

Uber and Lyft accidents often involve one or more of the following:

• Other vehicles – including cars, SUVs, or trucks.
• Motorcycles – riders are particularly vulnerable in rideshare accidents.
• Bicycles – cyclists often suffer severe injuries in collisions with Uber/Lyft vehicles.
• Pedestrians – distracted or rushing rideshare drivers can pose a significant risk to pedestrians.
• Fixed objects – such as light poles, guardrails, or parked vehicles.
• Third-party victims – including passengers inside the Uber or Lyft at the time of the crash.

Uber and Lyft Insurance Coverage for Accidents

If an Uber or Lyft driver is found liable for an accident, a Perazzo Law Firm Uber accident lawyer in Miami will gather all necessary evidence, including police reports and witness statements, to file an insurance claim for compensation against the rideshare driver’s insurance provider.

Most Uber and Lyft drivers are covered by a $1 million insurance policy, which includes:

• Uninsured Motorist Coverage – Covers personal injury expenses if the other driver involved has no insurance to cover medical bills or losses.
• Underinsured Motorist Coverage – Helps pay for medical expenses exceeding the $10,000 provided by PIP (Personal Injury Protection).
• Bodily Injury Coverage – Covers medical costs and lost wages for accident victims, whether the Uber driver is at fault or not.
• Comprehensive Coverage – Helps repair or replace a stolen or damaged vehicle in non-collision situations such as fire, vandalism, or weather-related damage.
• Collision Coverage – Covers repair or replacement costs if the Uber or Lyft driver’s vehicle is damaged in a crash with another vehicle or object.

When Does Uber/Lyft Insurance Apply?

Uber and Lyft require all drivers to carry personal car insurance, but their supplemental insurance only applies when the app is on.

✔️ If the Uber/Lyft app is OFF – The driver’s personal auto insurance applies.
✔️ If the app is ON but no ride has been accepted – Limited liability coverage applies.
✔️ If the driver has accepted a ride or has a passenger – Uber/Lyft’s $1 million policy is in effect.

This means passengers, Uber drivers, and third parties are covered from the moment the app is active—whether the accident occurs before, during, or after a ride.

How Much Do Uber/Lyft Drivers Pay for Insurance?

On average, Uber and Lyft drivers pay between $1,200 to $2,400 per year for full coverage. Some opt for rideshare insurance, a cheaper alternative that ranges from $10 to $350 per year, depending on location and insurer.

If you’ve been involved in an Uber or Lyft accident in Miami, don’t navigate the complex insurance claims process alone. The Perazzo Law Firm has extensive experience handling rideshare accident claims and will fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

Determining Fault After an Uber Car Accident

When Is an Uber or Lyft Driver Clearly at Fault for an Accident?
An Uber or Lyft driver may be undeniably at fault for an accident when their negligence behind the wheel directly leads to a crash. Negligent driving behaviors put passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists at risk, and when an accident occurs, the Uber or Lyft driver can be held legally responsible for any injuries or damages caused.

Common Acts of Negligence by Uber & Lyft Drivers

🚨 Cellphone Use While Driving
Negligent cellphone use is one of the leading causes of accidents today, and rideshare drivers are especially vulnerable to distractions. Uber and Lyft drivers frequently interact with their phones to navigate via GPS, accept rides, check earnings, or communicate with passengers. However, using a cellphone while driving significantly increases the risk of accidents. If an Uber driver is texting, making calls, activating an app, or scrolling for new rides at the time of an accident, they will almost certainly be found at fault. If you were a passenger in an Uber crash, and the driver was using their phone, this evidence can be critical in proving liability in a claim for compensation.

🚦 Careless Driving
Failing to pay attention to the road—even for a split second—can lead to catastrophic accidents. Some of the most common Uber/Lyft accidents involve rear-end collisions, which often result from inattentiveness, distracted driving, or failing to notice slowed or stopped traffic ahead. Rideshare drivers often get distracted by GPS instructions, conversations with passengers, or notifications on their screens, leading to delayed reaction times.

📍 Failure to Yield to Oncoming Traffic
Uber and Lyft drivers may also be at fault for failing to yield, especially at:

• Intersections
• Highway on/off ramps
• Roundabouts
• Parking lot exits
• Driveways or alleys

Failing to yield at the right time can cause dangerous T-bone or side-impact collisions, which can result in severe injuries for passengers and other motorists. If an Uber driver fails to follow traffic laws, the police report will likely cite them for careless driving, making them liable for the damages caused.

Proving Fault & Seeking Compensation After an Uber/Lyft Accident

When an Uber or Lyft accident occurs due to driver negligence, a police officer will investigate the scene, take statements, and inspect the vehicle damage to determine fault. If the rideshare driver is cited for careless driving, cellphone use, or failure to yield, victims have a strong case for compensation.

A personal injury lawyer can file an insurance claim against Uber’s $1 million policy on behalf of passengers or other injured parties. This claim can cover:

✔ Medical expenses
✔ Lost wages
✔ Pain and suffering
✔ Property damage

If you or a loved one was injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, The Perazzo Law Firm is ready to fight for your right to just compensation.
