Ridesharing services such as Lyft have become increasingly popular across the country, making transportation more accessible and affordable for both locals and tourists. However, like any other mode of transportation, there is always a risk of accidents. Although some Lyft accident victims sustain only minor injuries or none at all, others suffer serious injuries such as spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injuries, whiplash, or broken bones. If you find yourself in a situation where you are injured while using Lyft, you may wonder about your options.

Because Lyft drivers are classified as independent contractors rather than employees, the company may refuse responsibility for accidents involving their drivers, leaving victims uncompensated. Furthermore, insurance companies may deny or lowball claims. It is crucial to consult a Lyft accident lawyer to navigate these complexities. Lyft drivers are required to have personal auto insurance, but not commercial insurance. If the Lyft driver caused the accident, the company’s $1 million liability and bodily injury insurance may cover damages. Alternatively, if the driver has commercial or personal insurance covering ridesharing, they may be held liable. If the other driver is at fault, a claim may be filed against their insurance or Lyft. However, holding Lyft responsible for its drivers’ actions is challenging because they are independent contractors.
As a passenger involved in a Lyft car crash, you may be entitled to receive compensation for various damages, which can include:
Current and future medical expenses, such as hospitalization, rehabilitation, disability, and other healthcare-related costs.
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and physical impairment.
Lost earnings, both past and future, due to the accident.
Loss of potential income, if you have been left with a permanent disfigurement or long-term disability.
After an accident, it’s important to prioritize your health and safety. If you are injured, seek medical attention immediately. If you are able, try to gather as much information as possible about the accident, including taking pictures of the scene, getting the contact information of any witnesses, and exchanging insurance and contact information with the other parties involved.
It’s also important to report the accident to Lyft as soon as possible, as well as to your own insurance company. Consider consulting with a Lyft accident lawyer to understand your legal options and protect your rights.
