Why Orlando Is a Hot Zone for Rideshare Collisions
Orlando is one of the busiest rideshare hubs in the United States, with:
- Millions of tourists annually visiting Disney World, Universal, and I-Drive
- Thousands of rideshare drivers on the road at all hours
- High-density event traffic around Amway Center, Camping World Stadium, and convention centers
- Rain-prone weather, theme park fatigue, and late-night pickups increasing crash risk
In this environment, Uber and Lyft vehicles are often in rush mode, making quick pickups or navigating unfamiliar streets — which can lead to tragic outcomes.
What Makes Rideshare Accident Claims So Complex?
A crash involving an Uber or Lyft isn’t like a typical fender bender. Here’s why:
1. App Status Affects Insurance Coverage
The driver’s app status determines which insurance applies:
| Driver Status | Insurance Coverage Type |
|---|---|
| App off | Driver’s personal auto insurance |
| App on, no ride accepted | Limited coverage from Uber/Lyft (usually $50k–$100k) |
| Ride accepted/in-progress | $1 million commercial liability coverage applies |
Your lawyer must prove the exact moment of the crash — and what mode the driver was in.
2. Multiple Parties Might Share Fault
- Uber or Lyft may be liable under negligent hiring
- Third-party drivers may have caused the crash
- Vehicle maintenance issues, road defects, or DUI factors may complicate fault
- You, as a passenger or pedestrian, may be partly blamed under Florida’s comparative fault law
We investigate thoroughly to identify all liable parties, including apps, drivers, third parties, and more.
3. Getting Paid Can Be a Fight
Insurance companies representing Uber and Lyft deny or delay claims by:
- Arguing their driver wasn’t “on duty”
- Blaming the other driver or you
- Offering lowball settlements that don’t cover medical bills
- Stalling until the statute of limitations passes
We know how to beat these tactics. We secure app records, phone logs, dashcam footage, and more to build your case.

Florida Laws That Affect Your Case
- Modified Comparative Negligence: You can recover damages if you’re less than 50% at fault
- Statute of Limitations: You typically have 2 years to file a claim in Florida
- Rideshare-Specific Insurance Laws: Florida requires rideshare platforms to provide additional coverage while drivers are “on app”
- No-Fault Rule Limitations: Your PIP may not cover everything — you may sue for excess medical bills or pain and suffering if injuries are serious
We stay ahead of all legal nuances, so you don’t have to.
