If you were involved in an accident with a Lyft vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation that will cover the cost of vehicle damage, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. Following the accident, you may not know what to do, how to pursue compensation, or how to prove the other driver was negligent. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Lyft accident lawyers can investigate the collision and determine whether the Lyft driver or the rideshare company should be held liable for your damages. Our legal team has extensive experience handling these types of complex auto accident claims and we know what it takes to help accident victims recover the fair settlement they deserve.
Handling an insurance claim by yourself after a Lyft accident is possible, but you may quickly find that knowing which insurance policy applies, the driver’s or Lyft’s can quickly make the entire process confusing and overwhelming. If you suffered injuries and you’re out of work, the added financial burden can also make it difficult for you to deal with aggressive insurance adjusters and hold out for a higher settlement offer. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Lyft accident lawyers can investigate the car crash to identify which party should be held liable for your damages.
They can also gather evidence, such as Lyft app records, which will show which phase the rideshare driver was in at the time of the collision.
During this difficult time, our legal team can also help by:
In situations where liability may be shared, your Lyft accident attorney will identify all potential defendants, whether it’s the Lyft driver, another motorist, or the rideshare company.
Due to the nature of rideshare services, a Lyft accident differs from a car accident that involves two passenger vehicles. Rideshare drivers are required to carry personal auto insurance. Additionally, Lyft also provides insurance coverage. However, the extent of Lyft insurance coverage can vary depending on which driving phase the Lyft driver was in at the time of the car crash.
01
During this phase, the driver is using the app, waiting for a ride request.
02
Lyft provides limited coverage, which increases once a Lyft driver is on their way to pick up a passenger
03
During this phase, the driver is actively transporting a passenger.

As mentioned above, rideshare insurance policies can apply based on the driving phase.
When the Lyft driver is not using the app and they are involved in a motor vehicle collision, their personal auto insurance policy will apply.
When the driver is using the app and they are waiting for a ride request, limited liability coverage provided by Lyft will apply. This coverage is secondary to the Lyft driver’s insurance.
When the driver is on their way to pick up a passenger or when there is a passenger in the vehicle, Lyft provides higher liability coverage of up to $ 1 million and underinsured/uninsured coverage.
