Ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft have transformed the transportation industry forever, but they've also left people with a lot of questions. What happens if I'm injured in an accident as an Uber or Lyft passenger? What happens if I'm struck by an Uber or Lyft driver?
Because laws surrounding the ridesharing industry are constantly changing, it's important to have an experienced Uber and Lyft accident attorney on your side in the event of an accident. At Lowman Law Firm, we know the ins and outs of the ridesharing industry, so if you've been injured in a Zephyrhills Uber or Lyft accident, call us for a free consultation.
Uber & Lyft Accidents in Zephyrhills, FL
With just the tap of an app, Zephyrhills 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 Zephyrhills still happen. If you've been injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft in Zephyrhills, contact Lowman Law Firm for expert advice and representation.
Who's At Fault?
Put Our Zephyrhills 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 Zephyrhills 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 Zephyrhills rideshare injury attorneys for expert help.

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.
