Lyft Accident Damages Can Provide Invaluable Support
Depending on the severity and nature of your injuries, you and your family could be facing countless challenges, including:
- Medical bills associated with treating your injuries and managing long-term symptoms
- A temporary decrease in income as you recover from the accident
- A permanent loss of income or employment, if your injuries prevent you from working as much as you did before
- The loss of your vehicle, which you depend on to get to work and run vital errands
- Physical and emotional pain that prevents you from performing daily living tasks or enjoying time with loved ones
Our Cambridge Lyft accident attorneys can pursue compensation for all of these losses and more. By compelling the liable party’s insurer to pay your damages, you would no longer have to worry about paying for anything you and your family need as you recover—and, if you are permanently disabled, you could receive money to help support yourself for the rest of your life.
Does Lyft Pay My Damages After an Accident?
Lyft’s insurance may apply if their driver had a passenger in the vehicle, was on their way to pick up a passenger, or had their Lyft app on and were waiting for a ride request.
How much they will cover depends on your circumstances. For example:
- If the rideshare driver was transporting or going to pick up a passenger, Lyft has a $1 million policy to cover your losses.
- If the rideshare driver had the app on but did not have a ride request yet, Lyft has a supplemental insurance policy that kicks in if their driver’s personal auto insurance is not enough to cover your damages.
- If the rideshare driver did not have the app on, Lyft’s insurance will not apply, and you have to file a claim with you own and the driver’s policies.
In Massachusetts, all drivers must carry several types of auto insurance. This includes personal injury protection, which will pay for certain expenses regardless of liability. This is the first policy you typically file a claim with after a motor vehicle accident. Our Cambridge personal injury lawyers can deal with your insurer and file this claim for you.
If you suffer a catastrophic injury and need more coverage than what your PIP policy offers, you can file a claim with someone else’s insurance. This is where Lyft’s insurance might apply. GED Lawyers can tell you whose insurance applies in your case and fight hard for the amount you and your family need to rebuild.
What if Multiple Parties Contribute to a Lyft Accident?
Most car accidents are caused by a negligent driver who, for example, ignores traffic signs or exceeds the speed limit. However, in a few cases, you might have to contend with another liable party, such as:
- A vehicle mechanic or manufacturer that failed to competently address clear problems with part of the vehicle
- Lyft itself, if they failed to properly vet their drivers and allowed an unqualified individual to become or remain a Lyft driver
- A local government agency that did not respond quickly enough to environmental hazards, such as potholes or fallen traffic signs
Parties like these can cause accidents or worsen your accident injuries (e.g., if an airbag failed to deploy) when they do not behave in a reasonable and legal manner. GED Lawyers can pursue all liable parties for compensation in your case, regardless of whether they are an individual or a corporation.
