The aftermath of an Estero Uber accident is challenging for many victims for various reasons. If you were in an accident with an Uber driver, you are not alone in your legal fight. An Estero rideshare accident lawyer with GED Lawyers can fight for your right to recover damages that can help you move on after your accident.
Florida law allows accident victims to demand recoverable damages from negligent parties who cause harm.

That’s when a personal injury attorney from our firm can step in and help get you the compensation you deserve. You can call us today to talk with us about your accident.

How does Insurance Work After an Uber Accident?
Under normal circumstances, if you get hit by another car, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance policy covers the damages (up to the maximum policy limits). However, Uber drivers use their personal cars for work, which means the circumstances of your accident will determine which policy is in force.
If an Uber driver is at fault in an accident while working for the company, the liability policy that Uber carries for its drivers will be responsible for paying the damages. Uber accidents that would be covered under the Uber policy include the following:
- Uber drivers working with the app engaged and waiting for a new ride alert
- Uber drivers transporting passengers they picked up through the app
- Uber drivers picking up or dropping off passengers referred to them through the app
If an Uber driver not actively working hit you with the app off at the time of your accident, their personal liability policy will apply.
You Have a Limited Time to Sue for Losses After an Estero Uber Accident
Florida law gives you the right to seek damages after an Uber accident, but it also establishes a time frame for you to file your action. You have two years from the date of your Uber accident to demand damages from the negligent driver, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a). Under most circumstances, failure to make the demand by the deadline will result in you losing your right to seek recoverable damages.
What Damages Can You Seek After an Uber Accident in Estero?
