When a rideshare accident disrupts your life or the life of someone you love, the road to recovery can be confusing and costly. The physical injuries, emotional strain, and financial burdens often require more than just medical attention—they demand expert legal navigation through complex insurance issues.
At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we bring over 35 years of experience representing rideshare accident victims throughout South Florida. Whether you were a passenger, driver, or bystander injured in a crash involving Uber, Lyft, or another service, our firm is here to identify all available insurance coverages and fight for the compensation you deserve.
A rideshare accident involves a collision or incident with a vehicle operated by a rideshare driver (e.g., Uber or Lyft) during commercial activity. These crashes can result in injuries ranging from minor whiplash to severe trauma, complicated by unique insurance considerations.
Even a routine ride can turn catastrophic due to driver error, another vehicle, or unforeseen hazards.
Rideshare accidents can stem from various factors. At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we’ve handled cases involving:
Rideshare drivers’ personal auto insurance generally does not provide coverage when they’re engaged in commercial activity, but Lyft and Uber have insurance in place—$1 million in coverage if the rideshare driver causes the crash, plus uninsured motorist protection if another uninsured driver is at fault.
Rideshare accident injuries can impact your life profoundly. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over time, requiring swift action.
Rideshare accident cases are intricate due to layered insurance policies. Lyft and Uber provide coverage, but it varies: full $1 million when carrying a passenger, less when en route or waiting for a ride. If your own car is insured, your PIP (no-fault) insurance follows you, covering up to $10,000 (80% of medical bills after deductible). Locating and identifying available insurance coverages is one of the most important parts of the personal injury lawyer’s job—each situation is factually specific, with no one-size-fits-all solution.
At Mark Wolin’s Law Office, We Will:
Our investigative journalism skills and trial experience ensure we untangle the insurance maze for you.
The worth of a rideshare accident claim depends on injury severity, available insurance, and fault. If the rideshare driver caused it, there’s typically $1 million in coverage. If another driver is at fault, their insurance applies—or Uber/Lyft’s uninsured motorist coverage if they’re uninsured. Mixed fault means claims against both.
Mark Wolin has secured substantial recoveries for rideshare accident victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties, leveraging expertise to tap every insurance source.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including rideshare accidents, is two years from the date of the crash (per 2023 legal updates). Exceptions may apply if injuries weren’t immediately evident or involve a government entity. Acting fast ensures access to all coverage options.
Our approach to rideshare accident claims is thorough, strategic, and client-focused. Every case deserves a custom plan.

How do I know if I have a rideshare accident claim?
If you were injured in a crash involving Uber/Lyft due to someone’s negligence, you may have a claim. A consultation can clarify.
Can I file a claim for someone else?
Yes. If a loved one was injured or killed, a family member can pursue it.
What evidence proves a rideshare accident?
Crash reports, medical records, app trip data, and witness statements are key.
How long does a rideshare accident case take?
Cases can take months to years, depending on injury severity, insurance disputes, and trial needs.
Will I need to go to court?
Many settle with insurers, but we’re ready to litigate if the offer isn’t fair.
What if the rideshare driver wasn’t working?
Coverage depends on their status (passenger, en route, or idle). We’ll determine what applies.
How much is my rideshare accident case worth?
Value varies by injury, medical costs, lost income, and available insurance. A review offers an estimate.
Guy walks into a lawyer’s office. A handsome U.S. Coast Guardsman, he sustained a brain injury in a night-time crash with a truck on the Turnpike that he cannot remember because of amnesia resulting from injuries sustained in the crash.
There are no other known witnesses, other than the truck driver who claims to have been rear ended. In the meantime, our client’s career in the Coast Guard is over. He’s been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and is no longer fit for duty. Can I help him?
So begins a case that went on for four years, pitting our firm against five leading Florida defense firms and four separate defendants including the truck driver, the trucking company, the construction company that the driver was hauling for and our client’s auto insurer.
Complex truck regulations were researched. Truck safety and human factors experts were brought in. Obtaining the 911 tapes, we discovered a previously unidentified witness who provided key information about the accident. The scene, the vehicles, weather and lighting conditions were analyzed. Evidence was compiled piece by piece like a mosaic.
The picture that emerged at the end told a story much different than the one given by the truck driver, who, we discovered, had lied on his job application to cover up a bad driving record. Prior to trial, the case resulted in a confidential settlement reached after a day-long mediation. After a long, arduous ordeal, and months of therapies, our client is successfully pursing a new career, and a new life.
Proving an injury usually involves getting an evaluation from the client’s doctors. But what if your client refuses to go to the doctor? Or even admit that she’s hurt? And doesn’t even remember the car accident that put her in the hospital for three weeks with a serious brain injury?
This was the predicament after a Sunny Isles Beach grandmother was knocked to the ground when a careless driver ran into the grocery cart which she was pushing as she crossed the street in Aventura. Bleeding profusely, and rushed to the intensive care unit at the nearest trauma center, tests revealed bleeding in several areas of the brain. After being transferred to a rehabilitation hospital, she discharged herself against doctor’s orders.
Suffering with memory problems, personality changes and cognitive deficits, our client stubbornly refused to seek medical attention. Fortunately, thanks to deep relationships forged over years of experience, we were able to actually bring top physicians and experts to her, including a board certified neurologist, who went to her apartment and interviewed and examined her there with great kindness and gentility. The client’s family, who lives in another state, was more than grateful.
A confidential six figure settlement was reached consisting of the entire policy limits of the opposing driver’s insurance coverage. The recovery will go far towards helping our client pay for attendant care and other specialized needs to provide her comfort in the remaining years of her life.
Our client, Ms. Marion, age 92, was a belted, back seat passenger in a rental car being driven by her son that was struck by another vehicle driven by an elderly man making a left turn onto a state highway without the right of way.
Both of Ms Marion’s two prosthetic knees were fractured in the accident, with operations needed on both legs. Unfortunately, one leg remained permanently out of alignment. A confidential six-figure settlement reached with the other driver’s insurance company has provided Ms. Marion with substantial comfort and security to help offset the lasting effects of her serious injury. Thanks to careful investigation and preparation, the settlement was obtained without even having to file a lawsuit.
