⚖️ Legal Information
If a Lyft driver hit you as a third party, Lyft’s commercial coverage may apply depending on their app status — you’re not limited to the driver’s personal policy. Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) still applies.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Who pays if my Lyft driver caused the accident?
It depends on the driver’s app status at the time — Lyft’s commercial policy may apply if they were matched with a passenger or on a trip, while a lesser or personal policy may apply otherwise.
2I was a pedestrian hit by a Lyft driver — do I have a claim?
Yes, if negligence is proven. Depending on the driver’s app status, Lyft’s insurance, the driver’s personal policy, or both may be responsible.
3What if the Lyft driver was waiting for a match when the crash happened?
Lyft typically provides limited contingent coverage in that period, which can still leave a gap — we review your options, including your own insurance, to close it.
Lyft’s $1 million policy applies once a driver is matched with a passenger or on a trip — but proving that status requires trip data most people don’t know how to request. We do.
