Uber & Lyft Accidents in Lecanto, FL
With just the tap of an app, Lecanto residents can have an Uber or Lyft driver at their service in a matter of minutes. With the added convenience, however, comes some risk – ridesharing has ultimately put more cars on the road, and that means more accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
A recent ridesharing study discovered that rideshare accidents had increased traffic deaths by as much as 3% since they first rose in popularity in 2011. That’s equivalent to as many as 1,100 fatalities a year.

Uber and Lyft generally take a “hands-off” approach to many claims when a driver is involved in an accident, partly because ridesharing drivers are independent contractors and carry their own insurance coverage in addition to the ridesharing company’s additional coverage.
This corporate insurance, however, only applies at certain times. For example, if a rideshare driver is “offline” (in the vehicle but not enroute to pick up a customer or transporting a customer) they are not covered and a traditional Lecanto auto accident claim would apply.
If you’re involved in an Uber or Lyft accident when a rideshare driver is active with the app, Uber or Lyft will want you to work with your own insurance company, their corporate insurer, and the driver’s personal insurance company, which can quickly become a real headache.
To avoid these complications, or if you feel like you’re being pressured to settle for an unfair amount, contact Lowman Law Firm’s Inverness rideshare injury attorneys for expert help.
