Who’s Responsible for Your Lyft Accident?

Lyft offers insurance coverage to everyone on its payroll. As such, Lyft drivers have insurance coverage that they can rely on in the wake of a serious accident. However, Lyft and its insurers want to do everything in their power to save themselves money. That’s why the company has established incredibly high standards for drivers to meet to qualify for support.

In other words, while Lyft provides its drivers with coverage, it may argue that those drivers don’t benefit from the company’s support if, for example, the driver wasn’t using the Lyft app at the time of a collision. You will have to bring forward evidence to prove that a driver benefits from Lyft’s support if you want to file an insurance claim with Lyft’s provider.

If you can’t hold Lyft and its insurer accountable for your financial losses, you may have to file a claim with a Lyft driver’s independent provider. If your claim gets stuck in insurer limbo or outright denied, you can explore your right to sue a liable driver through Florida’s civil system.

Don’t Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without a Miami Lyft Accident Lawyer Present

Our Miami car accident lawyers recommend that victims of Lyft collisions avoid speaking to insurance adjusters or Lyft representatives before meeting with an experienced legal representative. Insurance adjusters want to minimize your right to recover and can twist your words or obscure evidence to make it harder for you to prove liability. 

The sooner you can contact a Miami personal injury lawyer, the sooner you can protect yourself from bad faith attempts to stall your recovery. Fortunately, our legal team offers support on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you can benefit from our representation without putting down a deposit or paying any fees.

You can schedule a free rideshare accident case consultation with our team within hours of your collision. Our support can hold adjusters at bay, preserve the evidence most relevant to your recovery, and ensure you have the chance to demand compensation for all of your accident’s economic and non-economic losses.

Can You Financially Recover From a Lyft Accident?

Both insurance claims and Lyft accident lawsuits allow you to financially recover from rideshare crash losses. However, you will need to bring forward evidence of your economic and non-economic losses if you want to argue that a liable party owes you support. 

Our Miami Lyft accident attorneys can help you gather the data needed to include losses like the following in your claim:

• Emergency room services
• Surgeries and additional medical services
• Lost wages
• Lost benefits
• Property damage and mechanic’s fees
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Temporary or permanent disabilities 
• Reduced quality of life 
• Wrongful death, funeral expenses, and loss of consortium, in the wake of a fatal collision

What Can Miami Lyft Accident Lawyers Do for You?

You can count on an attorney’s support to file an insurance claim or Lyft accident claim, depending on how you want to approach your recovery. Our team can specifically:

• Gather the data needed to prove negligence following a collision
• Prevent Lyft representatives and insurance adjusters from pressuring you into accepting an insufficient settlement
• File your insurance claim according to a provider’s standards
• Preserve your right to file a personal injury claim with Florida’s civil courts
• Protect your right to maximize your Lyft accident settlement

You can discuss how you want to approach your recovery during a free, no-obligation case consultation with our team. We will prioritize your comfort and recovery goals while outlining what steps you can take to demand rideshare accident compensation.

When Should You File a Lyft Accident Claim With Florida’s Civil Courts?

Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations, Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5), allows you to take up to two years after an accident to file a rideshare accident claim with the state’s civil courts. You need to stay on top of this deadline if you want to preserve your right to legal action, as Florida’s courts don’t have to consider claims filed after an accident’s statute of limitations expires.

Working with our Miami, FL, Lyft accident lawyers makes it easier to prioritize your physical recovery without sacrificing your right to file a claim in a timely manner. 

Do You Have to Go to Trial Against Lyft After a Collision?

Filing a Lyft accident claim with Florida’s civil courts does not lock you into going to trial. In fact, most Lyft accident claims come to their natural conclusion during settlement negotiations with a Lyft representative, insurance adjuster, or affiliated liable party. You can count on our representation during these negotiations.

However, if liable parties refuse to acknowledge that you have the right to rideshare accident damages, we can present your case for support to a civil judge. We can preserve your right to negotiate for support, but we can also prepare you for the litigation process.
