How Do You Get Compensation After a Lyft Accident?
Our Baldwin personal injury lawyers understand that one major concern after your accident will be seeking compensation for your damages. How you can get compensation depends on who caused the crash and when it happened:- If the driver was logged into the app but had not connected with a passenger, Lyft’s third-party insurance might cover at least some damages from any accident the driver caused.
- If the driver was logged in and connected with/transporting a passenger, Lyft’s insurance will cover damages caused by the driver.
- If there is a different liable party, such as a third driver, then their liability insurance should pay for your losses.
- Regardless of liability, you could recover certain types of damages, including medical expenses, through no-fault insurance.
- Past and future medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage, especially to your vehicle
- Pain and suffering
- Impaired quality of life
- Partial or total disability

Can You Sue Lyft for an Accident?
Suing Lyft could be a possibility if:- Lyft is responsible for paying your damages (e.g., the company itself or a Lyft driver with a passenger was demonstrably negligent)
- Lyft denies responsibility, or their insurance company refuses to pay an appropriate amount
- You could potentially get the money you need without going through a lengthy, expensive trial.
- Your car accident attorney could negotiate hard on your behalf, pushing back if the insurer tries to shortchange you or unjustly accuses you of contributing to the crash.
- We would carefully review the proposed terms of the settlement and release documents and go over these with you, ensuring you understand the terms of the agreement in practical terms before you sign it.
- Securing a settlement typically takes less time than completing a trial, so you might be able to get your money sooner.
