Get answers about Uber accident cases in Florida
What should I do immediately after an Uber accident in Florida?
First, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Call 911 to report the accident and get a police report. Document everything: take photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries. Get contact information from the Uber driver, other drivers, and witnesses. Save your Uber trip receipt. Contact Shiner Law Group as soon as possible at
(855) 696-7379 to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
How long do I have to file an Uber accident claim in Florida?
In Florida, you generally have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, it’s crucial to act quickly. Evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and insurance companies may try to settle for less than you deserve. Contact our firm immediately for a free consultation to ensure your claim is filed properly and on time.
Will Uber's insurance cover my injuries from the accident?
Uber provides different levels of insurance coverage depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. If the driver was actively transporting a passenger or en route to pick up a passenger, Uber provides $1 million in liability coverage. If the app was on but no ride was accepted, coverage is limited. Our attorneys will investigate all available insurance policies to maximize your compensation.
How much does it cost to hire Shiner Law Group for my Uber accident?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict. There are no hidden costs, and you won’t owe us anything if we don’t recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free.
What compensation can I receive from an Uber accident claim?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the available insurance coverage.

Can I sue Uber directly for my accident injuries?
It depends on the circumstances. Uber classifies drivers as independent contractors, which can complicate liability. However, there are situations where Uber may be held liable, such as negligent hiring or app-related issues. Our experienced attorneys will investigate all parties involved and determine the best legal strategy.
How long does an Uber accident case take to settle?
Every case is unique. Some settle in a few months, while complex cases involving serious injuries may take longer. We prioritize getting you fair compensation as quickly as possible, but we won’t rush to accept a lowball settlement. Our goal is to maximize your recovery, whether through negotiation or trial.
