Frequently Asked Questions

I Was Injured in an Uber on I-275. Am I Eligible to Recover Compensation in a Rideshare Accident Claim?

Yes. In Florida, Uber provides a minimum of $1 million in liability coverage for accidents that happen while a ride is in progress. You may be eligible to recover compensation through the rideshare company’s policy, the driver’s insurance, or your own. However, proving liability in these claims is notoriously complex, as powerful companies and their insurers often try to shift blame. Our firm's experience in complex, multi-party litigation is a critical asset in these cases, and we will not hesitate to stand up to these corporations to secure the full settlement you deserve.   

I Slipped on Unmarked Wet Floors at International Plaza. Who Is Liable?

The liable party is typically the property owner or operator who failed to maintain a reasonably safe environment. Identifying the negligent parties and holding them accountable under Florida’s premises liability laws is vital. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate the accident to determine liability. Because we prepare every case as if it is going to trial, property owners and their insurance companies know we are serious, which positions us to negotiate from a position of strength on your behalf.
