Uber & Lyft Accidents in Brooksville, Florida
With just the tap of an app, Brooksville 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.
While the majority of increases occurred in larger cities, Uber and Lyft accidents in Brooksville still happen. If you've been injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft in Brooksville, contact Lowman Law Firm for expert advice and representation.
Who's At Fault?
Put Our Experienced Brooksville Uber & Lyft Accident Injury Lawyers On the Case!
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 en route to pick up a customer or transporting a customer) they are not covered and a traditional Brooksville 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 local Brooksville rideshare injury attorneys for expert help.

Lowman law firm is amazing. I am very satisfied with everything they have done for me. After being in a car accident and having to have neck surgery, they made things a lot easier. I recommend them to everyone. I've dealt with other attorneys and they just look at you like a pay check, where Lowman's law firm actually cares. They respond and actually reach out to you and keep you updated. They definitely do what's best for their clients
Rebecca
Automobile Accident Case
I never would have imagined a car accident case being this pleasant. I’ve had a different lawyer in the past and it was not great. I was recommended to Lowman Law firm and immediately I felt important walking through their door. Throughout the entire process I was never clueless about what was going on with the case. They were always responding immediately and staying on top of things.
Samantha
Automobile Accident Case
Fortunately, I have had a few good lawyers in my life. Lowman Law Firm falls into that experience. As a Licensed Healthcare Professional, my opinion is that they showed great regard and concern for my health. They carried the load professionally & expeditiously; never pressured me, while allowing me to recover.
Wilma
Automobile Accident Case
Dealing with insurance companies is not a pleasant experience and I wanted a professional on my side. I met with Joe Lowman who explained the process to me and put me at ease with me realizing that I had a competent, capable and experienced team fighting for me. They navigated through getting my car fixed and countless medical appointments and kept me informed as things progressed. Joe Hill was awesome at taking the facts, communicating with the doctors offices and insurance companies and getting the best outcome possible. The outcome was greater than I thought was possible. This would not have been possible without the awesome work, skills and professionalism of Joe Hill. He is great and I will always recommend Lowman Law Firm. You guys are fantastic!
Larry
Automobile Accident Case
Fought tooth and nail with the at fault insurance company for me every time they didn’t want to pay for a rental car and helped set up all of my medical appointments. Jordan and Joseph are the best. I got more than 20 times the money I thought I would be receiving from the settlement. I was literally brought to happy tears over how they handled everything!
