Who We Represent in an Uber or Lyft Accident

Florida Rideshare Insurance Facts

Understanding the policies and the coverage available to you after an accident involving a rideshare vehicle can be tricky as they depend on the status of the rideshare app, and who is at-fault for the accident. The coverages change often, but here is a breakdown of the bodily injury limits provided in Florida today (October 2024):

  • Offline: When a driver has their app off, they are considered to be “offline” and Uber & Lyft Accidents does not provide any coverage if there is an accident.  A driver’s personal auto insurance policy would apply.
  • Available: When a driver has their app on, and they are available and searching for a ride on the platform, Uber & Lyft Accidents offers a $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 third-party liability policy to those involved in the accident with the Uber or Lyft.  Note, the Uber or Lyft driver must be found at fault. The rideshare platforms do not offer Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage at this time.
  • Accepted Trip Until End of Trip: From the moment that a driver accepts a trip, until the time at which they end the trip, Uber & Lyft Accidents offers riders and other motorists on the road $1,000,000 of third-party liability coverage.  This means that the driver must be at-fault for the accident. The rideshare platforms do not offer Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage at this time.
