Florida Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer | Davalos Legal

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are a major part of life in Florida. But when an accident happens, getting compensated isn't always simple. Who’s responsible — the driver, the company, or someone else? At Davalos Legal, we fight for rideshare accident victims. Attorney Jonny Davalos — your Law Hero — is ready to cut through the insurance games and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Accidents involving Uber and Lyft happen for many reasons, including:

• Distracted driving (navigating apps, texting)
   
• Speeding to pick up or drop off passengers
   
• Fatigue (driving long shifts without breaks)
   
• Unsafe pickups or drop-offs
   
• Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers
   
• Reckless driving by third parties
   

Whether you were a passenger, a rideshare driver, or another driver hit by a rideshare vehicle, you have rights under Florida law.

Florida law requires Uber and Lyft to provide insurance coverage — but the coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time:

• App Off: Driver’s personal auto insurance applies.
   
• App On, No Passenger Yet: Limited Uber/Lyft coverage ($50k injury, $25k property).
   
• Passenger in Vehicle: $1 Million commercial policy through Uber or Lyft applies.
   

Attorney Jonny Davalos knows how to determine what coverage is available — and how to force insurance companies to pay.

Like other auto accidents, rideshare crashes can cause:

• Neck and back injuries (whiplash, herniated discs)
   
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
   
• Broken bones
   
• Internal injuries
   
• Psychological trauma (especially after a violent crash)
   

Whether you have minor injuries or life-changing trauma, you deserve full and fair compensation.

1. Call 911 and report the accident.
    
2. Take screenshots of your app showing the ride details.
    
3. Get contact information for all drivers involved.
    
4. Take photos of all vehicles, road conditions, and your injuries.
    
5. Get medical attention immediately.
    
6. Contact Davalos Legal before speaking with any insurance company.
    

Rideshare companies will have their lawyers moving fast — you should too.

Uber and Lyft accidents are different from normal car crashes:

• More insurance companies involved
   
• Different rules depending on the driver’s status
   
• Companies often deny responsibility until forced
   

At Davalos Legal, we:

• Handle all communications and negotiations
   
• Gather evidence from rideshare apps, vehicle data, and witnesses
   
• Build strong cases to maximize compensation
   
• Take cases to trial when insurance companies refuse to play fair
   

We know the system — and we know how to win.
