Lyft’s Insurance Refusing to Pay Medical Bills

Auto accidents, including those that involve rideshare vehicles, are very common. After a rideshare accident, rideshare drivers, rideshare passengers, and even the drivers and vehicles of other vehicles involved in the accident can find themselves having to deal with the rideshare company. It is well known that rideshare companies are not the easiest to deal with after accidents.

Lyft is one of the top rideshare companies. Lyft offers a million-dollar policy that covers drivers (partially when not on an active ride and fully when on an active ride), passengers, and even other parties on the road involved in incidents. Because Lyft offers such a great insurance company, some might believe that they are more than ready to cooperate and ensure that all affected parties get the payout that they are owed. However, that is not usually the case.

All insurance companies lose when they have to pay out a claim, so they will do whatever possible to reject claims – even if they are valid. If you or a member of your family were injured in a Lyft rideshare accident and the rideshare company is refusing to pay, you should explore your legal options. A Lyft accident lawyer might be able to help you with your injury claim and get you the best outcome available.

Some Common Questions

Unfortunately, it is common for Lyft’s insurance to refuse to pay medical expenses, which leaves victims and their families with the following questions:

• Lyft’s insurance is not paying for my hospital bills. What can I do?
• Lyft’s insurance is not paying for my medical bills. What can I do?
• The rideshare insurance is not paying for my treatments. Is there anything that I can do?
• Lyft’s insurance company is not paying for my physical therapy treatment. What are my options?
• Lyft’s insurance is not paying for my chiropractic treatment. What can I do?

Can I sue? If Lyft’s insurance is refusing to pay for your medical expenses, you could be eligible to file a lawsuit. You can definitely sue for the failure to pay your medical costs. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm today.

Your Right to Sue

Insurance companies are, unfortunately, very similar to each other. Every time that they have to pay out a claim, they lose out on money. Therefore, they will do sometimes outright reject claims to prevent from paying anything. Unfortunately, most claimants do not know that they can appeal rejections or take further action if their claims have been wrongfully denied. What can you do after the unjust denial of your claim? You can file an insurance bad faith claim for the failure to pay your medical bills. This is because insurance companies have a duty to make decisions regarding claims fairly. When they fail to do so and resort to tricks to avoid paying out perfectly valid claims, they are exercising bad faith and should be held accountable.

Whether the insurance company did not approve or is refusing to pay your Lyft accident claim, you could be eligible to file a lawsuit against the insurance company. If you are ready to speak with a lawyer that can sue Lyft’s insurance for the failure to pay for your treatment, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm today.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Lyft Drivers Can Sue

Rideshare drivers are typically covered during rideshare accidents – given that the accident occurred while they were logged on to the rideshare app. If the accident occurred while the driver was not logged onto the app (that is, driving on personal time), then there is no coverage. If the accident occurred while logged onto the app but without accepting a passenger yet, there is partial coverage. If the accident occurred after accepting a passenger (whether or not the passenger is already in the vehicle), the full million-dollar coverage will apply. If coverage applies, you have the right to file a claim. If Lyft’s insurance refuses to cover any medical costs, you can definitely sue them to ensure that you recover the payout that you are owed.

Lyft Passengers Can Sue

Lyft passengers are always covered by Lyft’s insurance policy in case of an accident. Coverage starts from the moment the passenger gets picked up to the moment that the passenger gets dropped off. In fact, the full coverage applies, so if Lyft passengers are injured, they can potentially have access to up to one-million dollars for all medical costs and other losses. If the insurance company refuses to pay, affected passengers can file a lawsuit to ensure that they recover compensation for their medical costs.

Other Parties on the Road Can Sue

Other parties on the road, including drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians, can also be covered by Lyft’s insurance policy. Different coverage will apply depending on whether the Lyft driver is offline, online and waiting for a ride request, or online and on an active ride. If the driver was offline, the driver’s personal insurance policy would apply. If the driver was online but waiting for a ride request when the incident happened, partial coverage will apply. If the driver was online and on an active ride, full coverage will apply. Depending on the situation, victims might also have to file claims with their own insurance policies as well (for underinsured coverage, for instance). If you are eligible to file a lawsuit against Lyft’s insurance company, you could sue if they refuse to pay for treatments.

What Should You Do?

After any sort of rideshare accident, it is important that you follow a number of steps to prepare to file your injury claim. For instance, you should take photos of all your injuries, take photos of the entire scene of the accident, and seek medical care. You should also file a police report and start your insurance claim. You should always keep records of everything. What if the insurance company is refusing to pay? If the insurance company is refusing to pay your medical costs or any other aspect of your claim, you should gather all communication with the insurance company and find a lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you file a lawsuit against the insurance company and ensure that you recover the compensation that you are owed.
