How Can a San Francisco Lyft Accident Attorney Help?
Working with an attorney can lead to the results you need and deserve for your Lyft accident in California. Your lawyer can investigate the crash to collect evidence of fault against the driver of your Lyft, the rideshare company or another party.
A lawyer can argue for maximum financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more using evidence and expertise. Throughout the legal process, your lawyer will make sure you have what you need to obtain justice and a healthy recovery.
How to Recover Compensation for a Lyft Accident in San Francisco
If someone else is liable, or financially and legally responsible, for your Lyft accident, then by law that individual or entity must pay for your related losses. This is how California’s fault-based insurance law works. However, it is up to you as an injured victim to prove fault. You or your lawyer must do this using evidence of negligence, or someone’s failure to act with proper care.
You may have grounds to bring a claim with the Lyft driver’s personal automobile insurance company or Lyft’s $1 million policy, depending on the circumstances. Whether your losses will be covered under Lyft’s policy – and the amount available – relies on who is at fault and the stage of the ride.
Who Is Liable for a Lyft Accident?
If the Lyft driver caused your crash through a careless or reckless act, such as speeding, driving while tired or impaired, or breaking a traffic law, you are likely eligible for compensation from Lyft’s insurance or the driver’s policy.
While less common, you may also be able to bring a claim against Lyft directly if the company contributed to the crash, such as through poor driver hiring procedures. Additional sources of compensation may include your own car insurance or a third party. Our lawyers can investigate to help you understand who can be held liable for your Lyft accident.
