Common Lyft Accidents
Our firm is ready to assist anyone in the following types of crashes:
- Lyft passengers injured in a crash with another vehicle. You could have suffered serious injuries when your Lyft collides at an intersection, parking lot, or on the highway. Either your driver or a different driver could be at fault.
- Pedestrians struck by Lyft drivers. Pedestrians face many hazards on the road, and rideshare companies like Lyft are another potential source of injury. A Lyft driver could have been distracted by looking at their phone for potential rides.
- Motorists struck by a Lyft. A driver for Lyft could have slammed into your car on the road. You might suffer any traumatic injury, including whiplash or concussion.
Reviewing evidence is necessary to assign fault and identify sources of compensation. When a Lyft driver is to blame for your injuries, the amount of insurance depends on where they were in the “ride cycle”:
- Not logged into Lyft: The driver’s personal insurance applies, not Lyft’s insurance.
- Logged in and looking for a ride. Injured victims can make a claim on Lyft’s insurance. The maximum amount of compensation is $50,000 for bodily injuries, up to $100,000 when two or more people are hurt. Another $25,000 is available for property damage, like damage to your car.
- Has accepted a ride or has a passenger in the car. The maximum insurance applies: up to $1,000,000 in liability coverage. Lyft passengers can make a claim on this policy if hurt while in the car.
If you are a Lyft passenger and another driver is at fault, you will seek compensation from that driver first, because the driver has primary fault.
