What is the Difference Between Uber and Lyft?
Uber and Lyft are both ridesharing services that allow customers to request rides from drivers who use their own vehicles. There are some key differences between the two services, though.
Uber is a ridesharing service that allows customers to request rides from private drivers who use their own vehicles. The ridesharing service is known for its luxury black car service and the ability to request rides from licensed drivers with commercial auto insurance. Uber drivers are also required to pass a background check. UberX is a lower-cost service that allows customers to request rides from licensed drivers who use their own vehicles.
Lyft is a ridesharing service that also allows customers to request rides from private drivers who use their own vehicles. Lyft drivers are known for their iconic pink mustache on the front of their vehicles. Lyft drivers are not required to pass a background check.

Can I Sue a Rideshare Company for a Rideshare Accident?
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft generally provide insurance coverage for their drivers and passengers. Florida law requires rideshare companies to carry specific insurance coverage that applies when a driver is logged into the app but hasn't accepted a ride, when a driver has accepted a ride, and when a driver is actively transporting passengers. Depending on the stage of the ride at the time of the accident, different insurance policies may apply.
To have a valid legal claim, you typically need to demonstrate that the rideshare driver or the company was negligent and that their negligence caused the accident and resulting damages. This may involve proving that the driver violated traffic laws, was distracted, or failed to exercise reasonable care while driving.
The legal status of the rideshare driver at the time of the accident can be crucial. If the driver was offline or using their vehicle for personal purposes without the app, the rideshare company's insurance coverage may not apply. However, if the driver was actively working for the company at the time, you may have a stronger case.
