New Uber and Lyft Accident Resource Hub Explains Florida’s 2-Year Filing Deadline and Insurance Rules

Miami, United States – June 14, 2026 / Mausner Group Injury Lawyers /

MIAMI, FL – Mausner Group Injury Lawyers, a South Florida personal injury firm led by rideshare accident attorney Eric Mausner, has launched a dedicated Uber and Lyft accident resource hub on mginjuryfirm.com to address the increasing number of rideshare crashes across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. The hub provides riders, drivers and pedestrians throughout South Florida with detailed guidance on rideshare accident claims, covering everything from immediate post-crash steps to the layered insurance structures that govern how much compensation an injured victim may recover. New resources are scheduled to be added on a continuing basis throughout 2026.

Miami ranks among the largest rideshare markets in the United States, with millions of Uber and Lyft trips completed across South Florida each month. Those trips are concentrated in areas where heavy traffic, narrow streets, tourist activity and active nightlife create hazardous conditions for all road users – including the Brickell corridor, Miami Beach and the I-95 and Palmetto Expressway routes. When a rideshare accident occurs in one of these high-traffic areas, injuries tend to be serious and the path to compensation is considerably more complex than a standard car accident claim.

“Rideshare cases are deceptively complicated because a single crash can involve the Uber or Lyft driver, another motorist, and one or more commercial insurance policies that change depending on what the driver was doing at the moment of impact,” said Eric Mausner, founding attorney of Mausner Group Injury Lawyers. “We are building this resource hub so that injured passengers, drivers and pedestrians have clear, reliable answers when they need them most.”

Why South Florida Rideshare Accident Victims Need Reliable Information

Uber and Lyft accident cases differ from standard car accident claims in several significant ways. Insurance coverage is among the most critical distinctions. When a rideshare driver’s app is off, only their personal auto policy applies. When the app is active and the driver is waiting for a ride request, Uber and Lyft provide contingent coverage of up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for bodily injury. Once the driver is en route to pick up a passenger or has a passenger in the vehicle, a $1 million liability policy applies, along with uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Identifying which policy was active at the moment of the crash often determines how much a victim can recover.

These cases also frequently involve multiple potentially liable parties – including the rideshare driver, another at-fault motorist, the rideshare company through its commercial policy, and in some circumstances vehicle manufacturers or government entities. Victims may sustain whiplash and neck injuries, herniated discs, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage and, in the most serious cases, fatal injuries giving rise to wrongful death claims. The insurers behind Uber and Lyft retain experienced defense teams that act quickly to minimize payouts.

The resource hub is designed to give accident victims and their families a clear understanding of how Florida law applies to their situation, which insurance coverage may be in play, what evidence is most relevant and what to expect when pursuing a claim against a rideshare company or its insurer.
