About Lyft
Lyft is a rideshare service company founded in June 2012 by John Zimmer and Logan Green in San Francisco, California. Over the years, Lyft has proven to be a reliable on-demand transportation alternative for many passengers, as well as a reliable source of income for its drivers. Although Lyft, like other rideshare services, is convenient for many people, it can be and has been involved in inconveniences. All vehicles on the road can be involved in auto accidents; therefore, all drivers and passengers can suffer injuries if they are involved in an auto accident. What does this mean for Lyft drivers and passengers? No vehicles are free of the risk of being involved in an accident; therefore, both Lyft drivers and passengers could be harmed in accidents. If you were involved in a Lyft accident, you could sue Lyft for the accident and receive compensation. You should seek legal assistance as soon as possible to learn more about what you should do to preserve your right to be compensated for your Lyft injuries.
What Could You Receive?
If you file a claim against Lyft after being injured either as a driver or as a passenger, you could be eligible to receive compensation. You could receive compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage, for example. Lyft is covered by a one million dollar insurance policy provided by York Insurance. This insurance policy covers all injured passengers and can cover drivers partially or entirely depending on whether the driver is just logged into the service or on an active ride. To benefit from Lyft’s one million dollar insurance policy, you must file an accident claim against Lyft as soon as possible.

I am a Lyft Driver and I got into Injured in an Accident. What do I do?
If you are a Lyft driver and you were involved in an accident, you must take action as soon as possible.

You must then evaluate your injuries; if your injuries are severe, you must contact emergency services. If your injuries are not life-threatening, you can seek medical treatment at a later time. You must file an accident report with the police. You must also photograph the scene of the accident and the injuries that you sustained. If you were logged into the Lyft app or on an active ride, you should take a screenshot of your Lyft app. You should also gather information, such as insurance information, from any other drivers that were involved in the accident.
