What to Do After an Accident

The moments following a Lyft accident can be overwhelming, but taking the proper steps is essential. First and foremost, ensure that you and the other parties involved are safe. If there are injuries, call 911 to request medical assistance. Even if injuries seem minor, seeking medical evaluation is wise, as some injuries have delayed symptoms.

Once you are safe, document the scene of the accident. Take photographs of the vehicles involved, any visible injuries, and the surrounding environment. Gather contact information from witnesses and obtain the Lyft driver's information, including their name, phone number, and Lyft driver identification number. This information is vital for any potential claims.

Reporting the Accident

After addressing immediate safety concerns, reporting the accident to Lyft is essential. Use the app or contact Lyft customer service to inform them of the incident. Lyft has specific protocols for handling accidents involving their drivers, often involving gathering statements from drivers and passengers. Reporting the accident indicates that you are serious about the accident, which may later support your claim.

Understanding Liability in Rideshare Accidents

Determining liability after a Lyft accident can be complex. In many cases, the rideshare company may be held liable, but this depends on various factors, including whether the driver was logged into the app and accepting rides at the time of the accident. If the driver was at fault, you might have a case against Lyft's

Insurance, which can cover damages, medical expenses, and lost wages.
If another driver caused the accident, you may need to file a claim with their insurance. Understanding where to pursue claims will impact the compensation you receive. Consulting with an experienced attorney becomes essential.
