Answering Your Legal Questions For Lyft Accident Claims

Our team created this resource to answer common questions about Lyft accident claims and to help you better understand the coverage issues that often come up in these cases.

What should I do immediately after a Lyft car accident as a passenger?

Most importantly, make sure you’re safe and seek medical attention, even if you don’t feel injured. If you can, document the scene with photos and gather contact information from witnesses. Report the accident to Lyft through their app and to the police. Don’t discuss who’s to blame or sign any documents. Then, call the team here at Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys. We’ll make sure your rights are protected and help walk you through the legal process.

Who is liable if my Lyft driver caused the crash?

It depends. Usually, liability is on the Lyft driver if they caused the accident. However, Lyft’s insurance may also come into play, depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Our attorneys will investigate the incident, figure out who’s responsible, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Can I sue Lyft directly after a serious accident?

Great question. It’s challenging to sue Lyft directly since their drivers are considered independent contractors, but there are situations where it may be possible. Our attorneys will explore all legal avenues, including potential claims against Lyft’s insurance policies. We’re committed to holding all responsible parties accountable and getting you the settlement you deserve.

What if both the Lyft driver and another vehicle were at fault?

This is when things get a little more complicated. Multiple insurance policies may be involved, including those of Lyft, the Lyft driver, and even the other vehicle’s driver. We have the expertise to navigate these cases (no matter how complex they are), and can make sure all responsible parties are held accountable. We’ll do everything we can to maximize your compensation, no matter what games these insurance providers play.

Does Lyft provide coverage for injured pedestrians hit by their drivers?

Yes! Lyft’s insurance policy typically covers pedestrians injured by their drivers, but the extent of coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. Our attorneys will gather the evidence needed to build a strong case, and will do everything we can to make sure you get the money you need to recover, whether that’s from Lyft or the driver’s personal insurance.

How do I file a claim against a Lyft driver's insurance policy?

Start by reporting the accident to Lyft and collecting any evidence you have (photos, witness statements, medical records, etc.). Then, call our legal team. We’ll take charge of the entire claims process, dealing with both the driver’s personal insurance and Lyft’s coverage. Our team knows how to cut through the red tape and push back against lowball offers. We won’t let the corporations or insurance providers deny or delay your claim.

What happens if the Lyft driver was off the app during the crash?

Usually, in that case, the driver’s personal auto insurance would be the primary coverage. However, this situation can lead to coverage disputes and complications. Luckily, Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys knows how to handle cases like this. We’ll investigate and identify all potential sources of compensation and fight to make sure you receive the settlement you deserve.
