Frequently Asked Questions

Miami Beach has about 83,000 residents but hosts more than 13 million visitors a year, and many of them get around by Uber and Lyft. Cars stop along Collins Avenue, Ocean Drive and Washington Avenue to pick up and drop off, often in traffic. If you were hurt as a passenger, a rideshare driver, another motorist or someone on foot, a Miami Beach Uber accident lawyer can help you find out which policy applies. Tomas Robirosa handles rideshare and delivery accident claims throughout Florida.

The App Status Decides the Coverage

Uber and Lyft carry commercial insurance, but how much applies depends on the driver's status at the moment of the crash. Was the app off? Was it on and waiting for a request? Had the driver accepted a ride, or was a passenger already in the car? Each stage can point to a different policy and a different limit. When the app was off, the driver's personal auto policy is usually the main coverage.

Your own PIP generally still pays first for your medical bills if you have it. Florida's 14-day rule generally requires you to get initial treatment within 14 days of the crash to use PIP benefits. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.

Visitors, Drivers and Passengers Have Different Claims

A passenger is rarely at fault, so the question is usually which driver and which policy. A rideshare driver hurt by another car may have a claim against that driver and may also have rights under the company's coverage. A pedestrian stepping off the curb on Ocean Drive and hit by a car that stopped short has yet another set of options.

Many people hurt here are visitors who fly home a few days later. A claim can still go forward from out of state, but evidence goes stale fast. Screenshots of the trip receipt, the driver's name and plate in the app, and photos of where the car stopped are worth saving the same day.

Insurer Calls and Your Miami Beach Uber Accident Lawyer

After a crash, the rideshare company's insurer may call quickly and ask for a recorded statement. You do not have to give one before getting advice. Report the crash in the app, call police so the Miami Beach Police Department can write a report, and get medical care.

Call (305) 600-0529 to talk through your situation. More about our local work is on the Miami Beach page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays if I was hurt as an Uber or Lyft passenger in Miami Beach?

Your own PIP generally pays first if you have it. After that, the at-fault driver's coverage or the rideshare company's commercial policy may apply, depending on the app status.

I live out of state. Can I still bring a claim?

Usually yes. The crash happened in Florida, so Florida law generally applies, and much of the claim can be handled by phone and email.

How long do I have to act?

The deadline for most Florida negligence claims arising after March 24, 2023 is generally two years, and PIP generally requires initial treatment within 14 days. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.

What does it cost?

There is no upfront cost. We work on contingency, so there is no fee unless we recover.

Can I work with the firm in Spanish?

Yes. Tomas works with clients in Spanish and English.
