Dedicated Representation For Your Florida Rideshare Accident Case

Last updated on February 26, 2025

The way people get around Orlando has changed dramatically with the emergence of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft. These services offer a hassle-free experience for both locals and visitors. Unfortunately, this surge in popularity has coincided with an increase in accidents involving rideshare vehicles.

At Gagnon Eisele, P.A., we are the law firm you need after a rideshare accident. Our personal injury attorneys stand out with their deep knowledge of rideshare regulations, proven track records of securing significant settlements and individualized approaches to each case.

How Are Rideshare Accidents Different?

If you get involved in an Uber accident or other rideshare accident, there are several key differences compared to traditional taxi accidents:

  • Insurance coverage: Rideshare companies provide different levels of insurance based on the driver’s status (signed into the app, in transit with a passenger or waiting for the next pickup). Taxi accidents typically involve straightforward taxi company insurance.
  • Liability issues: Rideshare accidents often involve multiple parties, including the rideshare driver, the rideshare company and other drivers. Taxi accidents generally involve the taxi company and driver.
  • Driver classification: Rideshare drivers are often independent contractors, complicating liability. Taxi drivers are usually employees of the taxi company.
  • App data: Rideshare accidents can involve crucial digital evidence from the rideshare app, such as driver logs, GPS data and communications. This type of evidence is less common in taxi accidents.

Understanding these differences is crucial in building a strong case after a rideshare accident. At Gagnon Eisele, P.A., we leverage our experience in rideshare accident cases to address these issues and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Steps To Take After A Rideshare Accident

Whether you are a passenger or a rideshare driver involved in a Lyft accident or any other rideshare accident, follow these steps:

  • Report the accident by calling 911 and asking for emergency assistance.
  • Seek medical care even if you think your injuries are minor.
  • Document the scene with your camera, if you can.
  • Get the contact information of all the parties involved.
  • Seek legal assistance to protect your interests against the insurance companies.

By following these steps, you can help protect your rights and strengthen your compensation case.
