What happens if you are injured in a car accident caused by a driver for Lyft or Uber? Or, what if you are a passenger of a vehicle driven by an Uber or Lyft driver and you get injured in the accident? Can you bring a claim or lawsuit in Central Florida against Uber or Lyft? Although drivers for both Lyft and Uber are actually independent contractors, these ride-sharing companies are primary when it comes to liability for accidents caused by their drivers in Central Florida.

As long as the driver of the vehicle was on the clock for Uber or Lyft when the accident occurred, a claim against either company can be filed. Passengers and other drivers or pedestrians involved in the accident can bring a claim against Uber or Lyft as well.
