Compensation We Can Pursue After a Rideshare Injury in The Villages
With your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, you can receive some benefits following a rideshare accident. This compensation could provide for some medical bills and lost income. However, your losses could exceed your coverage.
If so, you may have the option to file a claim or suit against the other party. Those damages include compensation for:
Medical Expenses for Past and Future Care
We can pursue appropriate compensation for any bills related to your healthcare:
- ER visits and hospitalization
- Surgery and treatment
- Physical therapy and rehab
- Medication and equipment
- Mental health support
Some damages reimburse out-of-pocket expenses and past bills. Others provide compensation for future care. The latter is often overlooked in settlement offers, so don’t accept anything until we identify what you lost.
Career Losses
While PIP provides some lost income, it’s usually a portion of what you earn. A claim or lawsuit could provide for all lost revenue streams, including:
- Salary
- Hourly wages
- Bonuses
- Employee benefits
- Commissions
- Tips
- Time off
Additionally, we can negotiate for damages to recognize how your injuries reduced your ability to earn. Similarly, the other party can provide compensation for training in a new career if you can no longer work in your current one.
Pain and Suffering
These damages address your more personal consequences, such as the pain of your injuries and the loss of intimacy with your spouse, the ability to engage in a hobby, or your independence.
Following your accident in The Villages, our rideshare accident attorneys can go over the changes to your life and how you may pursue compensation to help you cope with them.
Distracted Driving and Other Negligence in Rideshare Accidents
An increasingly common accident cause is distracted driving. As U.S. News & World Report points out, distractions are a reason for the rise in accidents at passenger pick-up and drop-off locations. Drivers are distracted by the GPS, the app, or the search for passengers.
Other negligence that are grounds for a case:
- Speeding
- Tailgating
- Aggressive driving
- Impaired driving
- Running lights
- Ignoring signs
- Improper turns
- Failure to yield
You don’t need to know what happened to consult our rideshare injury attorneys. If you feel some negligent action played a role, we can investigate to identify if distracted driving or other negligence caused your injuries.

Your Options Following a Rideshare Accident in the Villages
If negligence was involved, what you can do to receive compensation depends on which scenario applies:
The Rideshare Driver Was Logged In and Waiting
In this case, both Uber and Lyft offer the same coverage:
- $50,000 per person for bodily injury
- $100,000 per accident for bodily injury
- $25,000 per accident for property damage
The Rideshare Driver Was En Route or Transporting a Rider
Lyft and Uber provide $1 million in third-party auto liability coverage, as well as other first-party coverages and comprehensive and collision coverage.
The rideshare company and their insurance might fight harder to avoid liability in these cases since they are on the hook for a higher amount. We can work to hold them to their promises.
The Rideshare Driver Was Logged Out
In this case, the rideshare driver is like any other driver and may face liability if they cause serious injuries. You can receive some benefits with PIP or pursue the driver directly for damages.
