West Palm Beach Turo & Auto Share Accident Lawyer

The way we travel has changed dramatically in recent years. While ride sharing giants like Uber and Lyft revolutionized getting a ride, a new wave of “Auto Share” companies has changed how we rent cars. Platforms like Turo allow everyday vehicle owners to rent their personal cars to strangers, serving as the Airbnb of the automotive world.

However, when negligence occurs behind the wheel of a borrowed car, the aftermath is rarely simple. If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash involving an auto share vehicle, you are likely facing physical pain, mounting medical bills, and a confusing legal landscape. You deserve a legal team like Brubaker Injury Law that understands the complications of the peer-to-peer economy and will fight to secure the compensation you need to recover.

Unique Factors in Auto Share Accidents

Accidents involving auto share vehicles are in many ways legally distinct from standard car accidents or ride share crashes. In a typical car accident, you deal with the drivers’ personal insurance. In an Uber or Lyft accident, there are clear corporate policies in place. With auto shares, however, the lines of liability can become blurred.

When you are injured by a driver who was renting a vehicle through an app, several questions arise immediately:

• Is the driver’s personal auto insurance liable?
• Is the vehicle owner’s personal insurance liable?
• Does the auto share platform’s commercial policy apply?

Many personal auto insurance policies have exclusions for “commercial use,” meaning the vehicle owner’s insurer may deny the claim when they learn the car was being rented out. This can leave victims in a precarious position after a catastrophic accident, unsure of who will pay for their surgery, rehabilitation, and lost wages.

Navigating the Insurance Maze

Companies like Turo typically provide substantial insurance coverage to protect users during the rental period. This coverage is designed to kick in when personal policies fail. However, securing a payout is rarely straightforward.

You should not have to face these corporate giants alone while you are trying to heal. At Brubaker Injury Law, we know how to cut through the red tape. We investigate the crash, identify the applicable coverage layers, and ensure that the multi-million dollar policies advertised by these companies are actually used to compensate you for your suffering.
