What matters
What May Matter in a Wellington Rideshare Accident Claim
Which insurance applies can depend on the app
In Florida, rideshare coverage changes with the driver's status. Under Florida Statutes § 627.748, once a ride is accepted or a passenger is in the car, a $1 million liability policy generally applies; while the app is on but waiting, lower limits (50/100/25) can apply. Which one covers you depends on the facts.
App records can matter
Ride receipts, screenshots, and trip history can help show whether the app was on and whether a ride was active. Those details can affect which policy applies, so it helps to save them early.
Passengers usually are not at fault
As a passenger you are almost never to blame for the crash, and more than one policy may apply to your injuries. A review can help you understand which coverage could be involved.
Florida Deadlines Can Apply
Florida sets time limits on injury claims. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, many negligence claims have a limitations period (commonly two years for negligence for claims accruing after recent law changes), but the exact deadline depends on your case. Evidence from a Wellington rideshare accident can disappear quickly, so it is best not to wait to get a review. A lawyer can evaluate the facts of your situation. Results vary and no outcome is guaranteed.
