Let’s discuss your situation and explore your options after an Uber accident or Lyft collision. Reach out today to begin moving forward with experienced legal guidance.

What Happens If My Lyft Driver Gets In An Accident?

After a crash involving your Lyft driver or Uber driver, take these immediate steps to protect both your health and legal position:

  • Seek medical evaluation for all injuries, even those that seem minor
  • File an incident report through the Lyft app or Uber app
  • Capture scene photos if you’re able
  • Collect witness contact information
  • Record driver details and insurance information
  • Avoid discussing fault with drivers or insurance adjusters

The situation likely involves multiple insurance policies that might cover your injuries. As your accident lawyer, I’ll untangle this complex coverage web, determining whether the driver’s personal policy, Lyft’s corporate coverage or other insurance applies.

My work with rideshare accident victims throughout southeastern Wisconsin has equipped me with the knowledge to identify all responsible parties and maximize your recovery. You’ll work directly with me while I manage the legal complexities of your case.

Can You Sue Lyft If Your Driver Crashes?

While direct claims against rideshare companies present challenges, viable legal options exist for injured passengers. Your compensation possibilities depend on:

  • Your driver’s status when the crash occurred
  • Whether the rideshare app was active
  • If the driver was picking up passengers or already carrying them
  • The specific insurance policies covering your situation
  • Your injury severity and long-term impact

Companies like Uber and Lyft structure their operations to limit liability, but their insurance often provides substantial coverage for passenger injuries. As your car accident attorney, I’ll examine all potential compensation sources while building your strongest case.

How Much Is A Settlement For A Lyft Or Uber Accident?

Settlement amounts for an Uber accident vary significantly based on factors specific to your situation:

  • Severity and permanence of your injuries
  • Required medical treatments and future care
  • Income lost during your recovery period
  • Effects on your long-term earning capacity
  • Emotional and psychological impact
  • Available insurance policy limits

Insurance representatives for Uber and Lyft typically resist fair payment initially. My approach combines detailed case preparation with effective negotiation to counter these tactics. By thoroughly documenting all aspects of your damages, I create compelling settlement demands that reflect your complete losses.
