Rideshare Accident & Assault Lawyers in Florida
Services like Uber and Lyft have changed how people travel, but with convenience comes risk. When rideshare drivers or companies act carelessly, the results can be devastating. At Chomat Whitt Injury Law, PLLC, our Florida rideshare accident attorneys represent individuals injured or assaulted during rides arranged through Uber, Lyft, and other transportation apps.
Rideshare Injury Claims Beyond Car Accidents
Most people think of rideshare cases as simple car accidents—but the law covers much more. Our firm handles claims involving:
- Car crashes caused by negligent or distracted Uber or Lyft drivers
- Pedestrian or bicycle injuries involving rideshare vehicles
- Assaults, sexual assaults, and harassment by drivers or passengers
- Negligent hiring, background checks, and supervision by rideshare companies
- Inadequate safety policies or failure to respond to prior complaints
Rideshare companies are required to carry insurance policies that can cover injuries to passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians—but navigating those claims can be complex. Multiple policies, coverage limits, and driver status (app on/off duty) often determine how compensation is recovered. Our attorneys know how to untangle those details and pursue claims against both the driver and the rideshare company when corporate negligence contributes to the harm.
