Your back. Your knees. Your weeks of missed work. While Uber's $1 million policy sat there waiting to pay, the company you trusted will tell you the driver was 'offline.' We've heard it before. JDLE Lawyers proves what really happened with the driver's GPS data and forces the rideshare giants to pay the full policy.
Consultations are 100% free and confidential. Available 24/7.
Find out what your case is worth — in minutes.
Their first move is to claim the driver was 'offline' and shift liability to the driver's personal auto policy — which often won't cover the crash. We know how to prove otherwise.
Whether the driver was waiting for a ride, en route to pick you up, or had you in the car changes everything. We pull the data that shows which $1M policy applies.
Rideshare companies will offer a fraction of what your case is worth. We've seen passenger cases worth $1M+ settled for pennies when no one fought back.

"Amazing handling my motorcycle accident. Very communicative throughout the entire process. Got us paid well and all health expenses covered."

It depends on what the driver was doing when the crash happened. If the driver had the app on and was either en route to a rider or had a rider in the car, Uber or Lyft's $1 million policy applies. If the app was off, the driver's personal insurance covers the claim. Determining which applies is where cases are won or lost.
This is a common denial tactic. We subpoena the rideshare company's data logs — including GPS timestamps and trip status records — to prove the app's actual status at the moment of impact. Our investigators know exactly what to request and how to fight back when Uber or Lyft stonewalls.
Florida law generally treats Uber and Lyft drivers as independent contractors, which limits direct liability against the company. However, we can pursue the company's insurance policy, and in some cases, claims of negligent hiring, supervision, or app-design defects. Every case is different — we'll tell you what's possible.
Commercial delivery services like Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Walmart Spark have their own insurance structures that work similarly to rideshare. If you were hit by a delivery driver on the job, you may have access to commercial auto coverage. We handle these cases the same way — with a focus on getting you the full policy.
The statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, rideshare companies can be slow to respond to evidence requests — so earlier is always better. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to preserve app data that proves your case.
Typically yes — both. Florida is a comparative negligence state, and naming all potentially liable parties gives us the best chance to access all available insurance coverage. We'll walk you through the strategy in your free consultation.
