Rideshare services have become a routine part of daily life in Boynton Beach, providing a convenient way to get to work, the airport, a night out, or anywhere in between.
But when a rideshare driver causes an accident, or when another driver collides with a vehicle you’re riding in, the path to compensation is far more complicated than a typical car accident claim.
Rideshare accidents involve multiple layers of insurance coverage, corporate liability, and Florida law that governs how transportation network companies operate.
Getting it wrong (or accepting a quick settlement before understanding your full rights) can leave you significantly undercompensated.
At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, our experienced ride-sharing accident lawyers in Boynton Beach represent injury victims throughout Palm Beach County.
We understand that after a serious accident, you need more than just legal representation—you need people who genuinely care about what you’re going through.

Rideshare accidents can affect more than just passengers. Injured parties in these cases commonly include:
Each of these scenarios involves different insurance considerations and potentially different liable parties. An experienced attorney can help identify who is responsible and which coverage applies to your situation.
One of the most important and most misunderstood aspects of rideshare accident claims is how Uber and Lyft’s insurance coverage works. Coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident:
Understanding which tier applies to your accident is critical to knowing where to direct your claim, and an insurer may not volunteer that information.
Coverage limits and policy terms are set by the rideshare company and may change—an experienced attorney can help determine exactly what coverage was in effect at the time of your accident.
Rideshare drivers face unique pressures that can contribute to accidents. Common causes include:
Injuries sustained in Lyft or Uber accidents (or other rideshares) are similar to those in any road collision, but passengers are sometimes at heightened risk due to sitting in the back seat without awareness of road conditions ahead. Common injuries include:
Even accidents at relatively low speeds can cause serious injuries. Seek medical attention promptly, both for your health and to create a documented record for your claim.
Depending on the circumstances of your case and which insurance coverage applies, you may be entitled to seek compensation for:
Every case is different, and the compensation available will depend on the specific facts, including which insurance tier applied and the extent of injuries and negligence involved. An experienced ride-sharing accident attorney can evaluate your situation and identify every available source of compensation.

They all went above and beyond my expectations, and did an excellent job for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of this kind of service.
I chose Brian Guralnick for my personal injury case because of my experience with Brian on a previous business relationship that I had with him many years ago. At that time I could tell that this man was detail oriented and passionate and caring. This was my very first experience with a personal injury lawsuit and Brian and his team very professionally advised me and compassionately guided me at every turn. My case was settled much faster than I had expected and for a settlement amount that was higher than I expected. When Brian says that he will “Demand More”, he is absolutely telling the truth. Brian and his team absolutely know what they are doing.
