How Can a Lyft Accident Attorney Help You?
An accident while riding in or driving a Lyft vehicle can lead to a confusing legal process. Unlike a standard car accident case, a Lyft accident involves challenges such as company liability. You can balance the scales by hiring an experienced rideshare accident lawyer in Ontario to represent you.
A lawyer can investigate the crash to determine who is at fault and who can be held liable, or financially responsible, for the wreck. Then, your lawyer can collect evidence and take over insurance settlement negotiations to maximize your case results. You can trust your attorney to protect your best interests while you rest and focus on recovering.
What Causes Most Lyft Accidents in California?
Motor vehicle collisions involving Lyft, Uber and other rideshare vehicles are typically caused by human error. Drivers may make mistakes that endanger the lives of Lyft passengers and all other road users, including cyclists and pedestrians.
Common examples include speeding, red-light running, distracted driving, drunk driving, drowsy driving and violating traffic laws. When a Lyft driver is at fault for an accident, compensation may be available from Lyft and other sources.
Who Pays for a Lyft Accident in Ontario?
Lyft has a $1 million insurance policy available to cover accidents involving their drivers. The amount that will be paid on a claim will depend on the period or phase of the ride. When a Lyft driver is logged onto the app and waiting for a ride request, up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident in bodily injury and $25,000 in property damage insurance is available. If the driver has accepted a ride or a passenger is in the vehicle, the full $1 million is accessible.
Other sources of compensation can include the Lyft driver’s personal auto policy, your own car insurance or a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer or the government. Getting Lyft to pay for your medical bills, property repairs and other losses after an accident requires proof of fault and your injuries. A lawyer can help you win your case and maximize your financial recovery.
