How Is The Amount Of Damages Determined In West Palm Beach FL? | Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A.
In Florida, Florida's Wrongful Death Act governs damages. Section 768.21 of Florida statutes sets forth who may recover and what damages are available. Typically the spouse and minor children can recover for wrongful death, however, if there's no spouse, adult children may also recover. In addition, if a minor child dies, the parents of that minor child may have a claim for recovery. The wrongful death statute is actually somewhat complicated, so it's important to speak with an any.

A Lyft Driver Hit My Vehicle What Should I Do in Pompano Beach FL? | Gonzalez & Cartwright P.A.
If a Lyft driver hits your vehicle, call the police. Get them to the accident scene to document the accident. The available coverage to use is going to depend on a lot of different things. If the Uber driver was going to make a scheduled pick up or if the Uber driver was driving someone who took advantage of their ride share services, there may be up to a million dollars in coverage provided by Uber to compensate you for your injuries. However, if the Uber driver is driving or Lyft driver is driving around on their own and they're not under any mission or task for Uber or Lyft, their own insurance would apply, so you're going to want to make sure that the police document both the personal insurance for the Uber or Lyft driver as well as whether or not the Uber or Lyft driver was under any mission or activity for Uber or Lyft.
