Should You File an Insurance Claim After a Rideshare Accident?
Rideshare companies do provide their drivers with insurance, but only when those drivers meet certain qualifying criteria. In other words, you may have the right to file an insurance claim with a rideshare company after an accident with one of its drivers, but you may have to fight to get the insurance company to recognize your right to support.
Unfortunately, some insurance companies may throw responsibility for your losses back and forth between them. For example, a rideshare company’s insurer may argue that a driver’s independent provider needs to take accountability for your losses.
Instead of letting your case get stuck in bureaucratic limbo, consider filing an insurance claim for your losses alongside an experienced attorney.
Our Captiva personal injury lawyers can help you identify the right provider to file with. We can then defend your claim in conversations with insurance adjusters.

Can You Go to Court After a Rideshare Accident?
If an insurance company won’t acknowledge your right to compensation after a rideshare accident, you still have legal options. You can hold rideshare companies, drivers, and third parties accountable for your losses through the civil system. Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations, Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5), gives you two years to file for damages.
Filing a claim won’t lock you into a trial with a judge and jury. Most of the time, these claims allow you to meet with the party liable for your losses and negotiate for damages. However, you retain the right to go to trial if a liable party refuses to recognize that they owe you financial support for your rideshare accident losses.
