Ride sharing has become a very popular and convenient way to travel in West Palm Beach.

With any automobile accident, there can be a few complicated legal matters to work through.

And, if you are out of work because of injuries stemming from the accident, you might also be facing a financial hardship. Fortunately, our team in West Palm Beach can help you every step of the way.

It is not advisable to communicate with insurance companies. They are experts in their field and could trick you into saying things that are not in your best interest. The best way to deal with insurance companies is to let our team of legal experts do it for you.
Take a minute to get to understand the basic laws surrounding ride share accidents in West Palm Beach. Consider how bad the accident was.

Florida has something called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance, so every private car in West Palm Beach needs to carry this insurance. It is designed to cover medical bills, lost wages, and even some death benefits. Our team will make sure you as the injured party get everything you are eligible for from the PIP of the driver.
After any automobile accident in Florida, whether it involves a ride share or not, you usually have up to four years to file a lawsuit.
