Lyft Accidents Are on the Rise
A University of Chicago study linked the rise of rideshare services like Lyft to a 3% increase in traffic deaths in cities where they operate. Nationwide:
- Over 1,000 deaths per day are now tied to increased rideshare traffic
- In recent years, Lyft vehicles were involved in nearly 100 fatal crashes, with more than half the victims being third-party drivers or pedestrians
- Drop-off and pick-up points — especially in urban areas like Dallas — are now hot zones for collisions
In a city as active as Dallas, more rideshare cars on the road mean more opportunity for dangerous accidents. If you were injured in one of these collisions, our Dallas Lyft accident attorneys are ready to help.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Dallas Lyft Accident?
Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be responsible for your injuries, including:
- The Lyft driver
- Lyft itself, if negligent in hiring or oversight
- Another driver on the road
- Vehicle or parts manufacturers
- A government entity for unsafe road conditions or malfunctioning traffic signals
Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation to identify all liable parties and pursue the maximum compensation from each.
Understanding Lyft’s Insurance Coverage
Liability coverage depends on the driver’s status in the app at the time of the accident:
- App Off: The driver’s personal insurance applies.
- App On, No Passenger: Lyft provides limited third-party liability:
- $50,000 per person for bodily injury
- $100,000 per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
- App On, Passenger in Vehicle: Lyft’s $1 million policy is in effect, along with:
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Contingent comprehensive and collision (after deductible)
We’ll help determine which coverage applies to your case — and ensure no insurance company underpays or delays your rightful compensation.
Causes of Lyft Accidents in Dallas
Rideshare drivers face unique risks. Some of the most common causes of Lyft-related accidents include:
- Distracted driving – using the app or GPS while behind the wheel
- Driving in unfamiliar areas
- Fatigued driving – many Lyft drivers work long hours or multiple jobs
- Passenger distractions
- Speeding or aggressive driving to meet trip quotas or deadlines
No matter the cause, if a Lyft driver’s negligence led to your injuries, you may have a strong claim.
Common Injuries from Lyft Accidents
Rideshare collisions can result in serious, even life-threatening injuries. Our Dallas Lyft accident attorneys have represented clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Concussions and whiplash
- Spinal cord damage
- Fractured bones
- Internal bleeding
- Psychological trauma (PTSD)
- Amputations
- Burns and disfigurement
Some injuries require months or years of recovery. Others may result in permanent disability. We ensure your claim accounts for both short-term and long-term impact.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If you were injured in a Lyft accident, you may be eligible to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (in fatal crashes)
- Punitive damages, in cases of gross negligence
Our legal team will calculate the full value of your damages — and fight for nothing less than what you deserve.
Dallas Lyft Accident FAQs
Yes. Even if you feel “fine,” you may have internal injuries or delayed symptoms. Prompt medical documentation also protects your legal claim from insurance disputes.
It depends. While Lyft often shields itself through driver classification as independent contractors, you may still be able to hold the company accountable for negligent hiring, retention, or failure to maintain safety standards. We’ll investigate all angles.
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, exceptions apply. Don’t risk missing your window — speak with an attorney today.
Dangerous Roads for Lyft Accidents in Dallas
Rideshare crashes frequently occur at or near:
- I-635 & Skillman Street
- Central Expressway & LBJ Freeway
- Dallas North Tollway intersections
- Commerce St. & Lamar St.
- Forest Ln. & Audelia Rd.
- Buckner Blvd. intersections
These high-traffic areas increase the likelihood of distracted driving collisions, unsafe merges, and sudden stops during drop-offs or pick-ups.
