    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who 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.

    I 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.

    What 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.

    Legal Framework for Your Case

    Lyft's insurance generally scales with the driver's app activity: contingent coverage when in driver mode with no match, and up to $1 million in liability coverage once matched with a passenger or during a ride. Establishing which period applies is often the key to your claim.

    Protection Against Insurance Tactics

    Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts - our job is to protect you.

    ⚠️ Tactics to Avoid

    • ❌ Quick Offers: Premature settlements before knowing the full extent of your injuries
    • ❌ Recorded Statements: Used to find inconsistencies in your claim
    • ❌ Liability Denial: Blaming you or minimizing their insured's negligence
    • ❌ Delay Tactics: Hoping you'll give up due to financial pressure

    🛡️ How We Protect You

    • ✓ All Communication: We handle all conversations with insurers
    • ✓ Thorough Investigation: We gather evidence to prove liability
    • ✓ Medical Documentation: We ensure complete medical records
    • ✓ Trial Preparation: Always prepared to go to court

    💡 Important Tip: Never accept a settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Early settlements are often a fraction of what your case is actually worth.

    Evidence We Collect For Your Case

    Building a strong case requires detailed evidence. Here's what we investigate for every client:
    Lyft Trip Data and Receipts
    Police Report
    Photos of the Vehicle and Scene
    Witness Statements
    Medical Records

    Warning Signs to Watch For

    Neck or back pain that worsens over days
    Headaches or dizziness
    Numbness or tingling
    Difficulty concentrating
    Anxiety about riding again
