Real Trial Power. Personal Attention. No Bluffing.
If you or someone you love has been a victim of an Uber accident in Orlando, please contact Attorney Michael T. Gibson at (407)-422-4529 to schedule a free consultation.
Did you sustain injuries in an Orlando rideshare accident? Are you struggling to pay the bills and cover your medical expenses while you’re too hurt to work? Whether you were a rideshare passenger or an occupant of another vehicle, you shouldn’t bear the financial burden of an accident that wasn’t your fault.
The first question in a rideshare crash is whose insurance applies. When the app is on and a ride has been accepted, the rideshare company’s commercial coverage generally governs, and the rideshare provider is typically liable for its driver. Coverage changes with the status of the app at the moment of the crash, so establishing whether the app was on, and whether a ride had been accepted, is one of the first things we pin down.

Why Hire Michael T. Gibson, P.A.
as Your Orlando Uber & Ridesharing Accident Lawyer
Not every firm is built to take on a serious injury case and the insurers behind it. Some are too small to fund a fight all the way to trial. Others are so large that your case becomes a file number. Michael T. Gibson, P.A. is built right in the middle, with the resources and trial commitment to stand up to the insurance companies and the personal attention to treat you like family. Here is how we compare:
Small Firms
Can't fund a week-long trial that runs $80K to $100K. Don't have the team to build the case. Insurance companies know they won't follow through, so they dare them. Your demand letter goes to the bottom of the pile.
Our Hybrid Model Firm
Thirty-plus professionals. The resources to fund six-figure trial costs. Every case trial-ready at all times. But every client still knows their lawyer and case manager by name. Personal attention. Real firepower. No bluffing.
Big Firms
Clients are numbers, lost in the shuffle. Can't reach their lawyer. Don't know who is managing their file. The volume machine runs, but nobody is watching your case the way you need.
Treated Like Family.
Fought Like It Was Personal.

A Single Mom. A Head-On Collision. A System Built to Break Her.
Michael opened his Orlando personal injury law firm after seeing his own family in need of legal help.
In December of 2000, Michael Gibson’s mother was hit head-on on a six-lane highway in Clearwater, Florida. She was a single mom raising two kids on a teacher’s salary. The family didn’t have money. The mortgage was due. The insurance company knew it.
At the settlement conference, the then-largest insurance company in the nation offered her half of what her case was worth.
Her lawyer refused to let that happen. He fought until she received every dollar the case was worth — and the surgery she needed to recover.
Michael dropped out of college to help his mom with bills. A year later, he walked into a personal injury firm and spent the next four years doing everything you could do without a law license. It was the first time in his life something fit.
He built Michael T. Gibson, P.A. on that foundation. Seventeen years later, the fire hasn’t dimmed.

Orlando Uber Accident FAQs
If you book a ride request through Uber, Lyft, or some other rideshare app, the legally-mandated $1 million in liability insurance coverage applies during your entire trip.
Florida's pure comparative negligence doctrine applies when multiple parties are at fault in a rideshare accident. Under this doctrine, you can still file a claim against another party even if you share fault for an accident.
Florida law gives you four years from the date when the accident occurred to file a lawsuit against an at-fault party.
It depends on the status of the app. When the app is on and a ride has been accepted, the rideshare company's commercial coverage generally applies and the provider is typically liable for its driver. We establish the app status early because it determines which policy governs the claim.
