Lyft drivers are rideshare drivers who use their own vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers for a fare. These drivers can come from all walks of life, which is good, celebrating diversity is great for the overall economy of our country. What is not so great, is that Lyft drivers also come with a diversity of whether they understand the overall rules of the road.
Of course, all Lyft drivers must have a valid driver’s license to be able to ride people around in their cars. But that does not attest to the safety of the driver in real time. If a driver is reckless on the roads, it is just a matter of time before that driver has an accident with that vehicle. Seeking a lawyer who can help you in this situation is a great idea. You need to seek out and find an attorney who knows how to win against bit insurance companies. When you call our office, that is what you will get – attorneys ready to fight for you to get you the recovery compensation package that you deserve after being hit by a Lyft driver.

Then you need to be seen by your healthcare provider to attend to any personal injuries that you have from the accident. You need to keep your receipts and medical bills, in order that it can be included as accident-related expenses, to be reimbursed later from your settlement package.

What Information Should You Add to a Lyft Accident Insurance Report?
If you have been in an accident with a Lyft driver, you need to fill out a Lyft Insurance Report. This will be done by making out a Lyft Insurance report by contacting the Lyft Claims Customer Care team. In the state of California, the Lyft drivers need to carry minimum auto insurance, which is note as:
- $15,000 for bodily injuries per person hurt in an accident
- $30,000 for bodily injury for each accident
- $5,000 property damage coverage for each accident
When the Lyft driver’s app is off, and it is called Period 0. At this point the minimum insurance levels apply, if there is an accident during that time. In Period 1, when the driver’s app is on and ready to pick up passengers, but doesn’t have a passenger yet. Here, the coverage for drivers is $50,000/$100,000 and $25,000 property damage coverage.
