How Do I Recover Compensation After a Miami Uber Accident?
Although you likely can’t sue Uber directly, several options are available for recovering compensation.
In most cases, you can first seek compensation through your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage under Florida’s no-fault laws. PIP helps cover medical expenses and lost wages, up to your policy limits.
If you were an Uber passenger or if you’re eligible to exit the no-fault rules and file a claim for full compensation (such as if you’ve sustained a serious injury or if your losses exceed your PIP policy limits), you’ll be covered by the Uber driver’s personal insurance or Uber’s corporate policies, depending on the driver’s status at the time of the collision:
- If the Uber driver was off duty, only their personal auto insurance applies.
- If the Uber driver was waiting for a ride request, Uber provides limited coverage: $50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage.
- If the Uber driver had accepted a ride request or was carrying a passenger, Uber’s $1 million liability policy is in effect.
Our Uber accident lawyers in Miami will help you identify all available insurance coverages in your case and determine the best path for maximizing your compensation award.
What Types of Damages Can I Recover After a Miami Uber Accident?
Victims of Uber accidents are generally entitled to compensatory damages, including economic and non-economic losses.
Economic damages cover your direct financial losses, such as:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and benefits
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Funeral and burial expenses (in fatal accidents)
Non-economic damages compensate for personal and emotional losses, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
- Reduced enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement
- Mental anguish
The best way to determine what compensation is available for your case is to contact an experienced Miami Uber accident lawyer. Zayed Law Offices offers free consultations to help you understand the value of your case.
Can I Still Recover Damages if I’m Partly At Fault for My Uber Crash?
Yes, but your compensation could be reduced. Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you are 50% or less responsible for the accident.
If you share fault for the crash, your award will be reduced to account for your percentage of blame. For example, if you are found 20% responsible for the crash, your compensation will be reduced by 20%.
If you’re 51% or more at fault, however, you cannot recover damages. Our attorneys will fight hard to protect you from unfair blame and maximize your recovery. Note as well that this law applies only to claims against the opposing party, not against your PIP insurance.
