The build up in ride sharing options such as Uber and Lyft has a few strengths for travelers who need a simple method to schedule a trip, whether it be to work, an evening out and about, or for virtually any reason. In Miami and across the country, these options are amazingly popular and are available through businesses such as Lyft and Uber. They offer the convenience of arranging a ride via a mobile phone app. It is more often than not faster and simpler to schedule a ride with these services as opposed to a conventional taxi cab service.There are many drivers on call, particularly on week-ends and in the heavily trafficked Miami metro area, causing an increase in accidents connected with Uber and Lyft vehicles. These transportation service providers do not maintain the same insurance that a conventional taxi business is legally bound to maintain. This lack of insurance coverage may mean that you as a rider could be taking significant risks while using these services if harmed in an automobile accident.
Ride Share companies like Lyft and Uber are vested with the passenger’s safety without exception and have a responsibility to its passengers. The automobile drivers from Uber and Lyft are required to follow safety protocols and make certain conditions are safe, meaning ongoing servicing, making sure the car is functioning correctly and ensuring the operator's abilities are up to the standards of the law.

The lawmakers and general public wondered who should be accountable when:-An Lyft or Uber automobile harmed another motorist, motorcyclist, passenger, pedestrian, or biker.-A rider who became injured in a Lyft or Uber rideshare automobile due to the fault of a vehicle driver who turned out to be either uninsured or underinsured.-A Uber or Lyft vehicle operator was maimed or injured by an uninsured driver.These rideshare companies addressed the challenge by guaranteeing that they had insurance policy coverage with $1,000,000 caps. Uber and Lyft guaranteed that if one of their “partners” injured another driver, pedestrian or vehicle driver while they were rendering a ride-share service, then the Uber or Lyft operator was covered for 1 million dollars.They also offered that if an individual was injured as an Uber or Lyft user as a result of the negligence of an uninsured driver, then Uber and Lyft would make available $1,000,000 in uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance coverage. To paraphrase, a Uber or Lyft rider with injuries due to an accident with someone who was uninsured or underinsured will have $1,000,000 in insurance accessible to compensate for personal injuries and damages.
The legislation regarding Lyft and Uber drivers and their insurance agencies are always changing and transitioning. Still, that doesn't rule out the point that an injured rider gives up their access to treatment solutions and fair reimbursement for their losses.
