Rideshare Driver Liabilities Under Florida Law

After earning a degree in business administration from Hofstra University, Mark Spatz earned his juris doctor from the Pace University School of Law. Mark Spatz was the sole attorney with Simons and Spatz, Pa for over 30 years. He now serves as a case manager for a personal injury law firm in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He handles diverse compensation claims, including auto accidents that involve rideshare services.

Rideshare firms, like Uber and Lyft, connect customers with drivers using their private vehicles. If a rideshare driver is involved in an accident while driving a passenger, the driver is responsible for making a claim on their insurance policy. This is required under Florida’s no-fault insurance laws.

The driver’s insurance can cover immediate medical expenses and property damage. However, passengers can still file a claim against the responsible party to reap compensation for any enduring injuries or distress arising from the accident. Due to the complexity of dealing with third-party insurance claims, passengers injured while using a rideshare service should contact a qualified law firm such as South Florida Injury Law, PA
