Being near the coast and Cape Canaveral, Titusville can have busy roads. If you were in a rideshare accident, our Titusville rideshare accident lawyer at Bogin, Munns & Munns can pursue compensation on your behalf. Your only focus should be on recovering; we’ll handle all the legal work.
Our Rideshare Collision Attorneys Represent Your Interests
Unlike the other parties involved in your rideshare crash, our only purpose is to help you obtain compensation. Our personal injury lawyers do that by investigating:
- Who caused the accident
- How the rideshare company may share liability
- How a negligent action connects to your injuries
- Whether a settlement amount reflects your losses
- Reasons for a delayed or denied claim
- Whether more than one party shares liability
- Whether your injuries qualify for a lawsuit
While we evaluate these questions, we help with the practical challenges of recovering from an accident, such as getting repairs, seeing specialists, and starting treatment. We can tackle these issues while keeping you apprised of what is happening in your legal case.
Your Insurance Company May Not Prioritize Your Needs—We Do
Rideshare companies, their insurance representatives, and their drivers will do their best to minimize their financial responsibility for your accident. In fact, your own insurer prioritizes their financial concerns over yours, even when they should cover a personal injury protection (PIP) or no-fault claim.
At Bogin, Munns & Munns, our sole focus is addressing your needs. While the other parties involved in your case are intent on cutting back what you receive, our goal is to maximize compensation. We identify all the tricks used to get you to give up your rights to damages and settle for less.

We Can Determine What Happened in Your Rideshare Crash
Depending on how complex your accident was, your case could involve several parties, including:
- Rideshare companies
- Rideshare drivers
- Other drivers
- Auto manufacturers
- Property owners
- Government entities
Any or several of these could have played a role and therefore provide an option for compensation. For example, a rideshare driver distracted by the app may have hit you at a drop-off location while you were walking. Distracted driving is negligence, potentially leaving both the driver and the rideshare company responsible for the losses they caused.
Other drivers are also responsible for not paying attention or obeying the rules of the road. Product manufacturers are responsible for defects that cause injury. Property owners and governments must provide safe roads; failures could open them to liability as well.
Determining Liability
Our rideshare collision attorneys analyze the evidence from your Titusville crash to determine liability:
- Police reports
- Eyewitness testimony
- Rideshare app data
- Traffic cameras
- Photo evidence
- Medical records
- Doctors’ notes
- Prescriptions
- Expert analysis
This evidence could 1) highlight someone’s negligent action, 2) connect the action to your injuries, and 3) illustrate the seriousness of your injuries and losses. Consequently, we don’t just rest on one piece of evidence but gather several points to create a well-rounded case.
Injury Compensation After a Rideshare Collision in Titusville
After compiling evidence to illustrate your losses, we can argue for specific types of compensation:
- Medical care
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Lost income
Under your PIP coverage, you should receive benefits in these categories regardless of fault. However, claims don’t always run that smoothly, and you may have more expenses than your policy covers.
Suppose your injuries or costs are questioned, or you experience any difficulties in accessing coverage that your policy should provide. In that case, our rideshare injury team can build a case for what you deserve.
If You Suffered Serious Injuries
Florida Statute § 627.737 allows you to recover additional damages if you were seriously injured. In these cases, you can pursue more compensation for accident expenses and losses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and inconvenience damages.
The law outlines a serious injury, including permanent injury or disfigurement. Don’t assume you don’t qualify, and instead reach out to our rideshare accident lawyers after a Titusville injury.
If You Suffered the Loss of a Family Member
If you lost a loved one in a rideshare accident, we are very sorry for this devastating loss and will tirelessly fight for justice.
A wrongful death claim or lawsuit can provide compensation for:
- Medical costs
- Funeral and burial
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of support
- Loss of guidance
- Loss of companionship
Our wrongful death attorneys can determine what damages can recognize your grief and loss.

How Rideshares Handle Liability After an Accident
Uber and Lyft offer insurance coverage for accidents depending on the driver’s app usage. If they weren’t logged in, their own insurance covers accidents. If they were logged in and waiting, they have some coverage. If they were logged in and transporting or picking up a rider, both rideshare companies offer $1 million in third-party liability.
Even with this coverage, the rideshare could try to pin the blame on the driver. They could also attempt to blame another party or even you. If they avoid involvement, the driver could have insufficient insurance to cover your expenses. If that happens, we can explore pursuing a personal injury lawsuit against the driver.
Come to Bogin, Munns & Munns if you have any questions about how liability functions in a rideshare accident. We can determine the company’s level of fault and your compensation options.
Your Timeline for Filing After a Rideshare Crash
Florida Statutes § 95.11 generally allows injury victims four years to file a lawsuit. For wrongful death victims, families have two years.
Rather than treating these as the starting line for your case, view the statute of limitations as a step to take after others are exhausted. Your Titusville rideshare accident lawyer can spend the time preserving evidence, calculating your losses, negotiating for a settlement, and building a case.
