Options for Filing a Claim for a Lyft Accident 

Accidents involving Lyft drivers present various complexities. One of the biggest complications is the result of Lyft stating that their drivers are independent contractors and not actual employees of the company. This begs the question of who to hold liable for your accident. Attorney Drew Page, a knowledgeable Virginia Lyft accident lawyer, will review the circumstances of your accident to determine the liable parties. 

You were involved in an accident with a Lyft driver that was not transporting a passenger

Lyft’s insurance coverage only applies to drivers that are logged into the app. If the driver was logged into the app and waiting for a request or en route to picking up an app user, Lyft’s car insurance will apply. However, if the driver was not logged into the app, you will have to make a claim against the driver’s personal car insurance. 

You were involved in an accident with a Lyft driver that was transporting a passenger

Lyft’s insurance policy applies when the Lyft driver is logged into the app and is transporting a passenger. In this case, you will have the option of filing a personal injury claim against your own personal car insurance policy. If the damages exceed your insurance policy’s coverage, you can then file for compensation from the Lyft driver’s personal car insurance policy. Your third claim will be against Lyft’s comprehensive insurance policy. 

You were a Lyft passenger at the time of the accident 

If you were a Lyft passenger at the time of the accident, you will have several options to seek compensation for your damages. If the accident was the fault of another motorist, you can file a claim against the insurance policy. If the other motorist is uninsured or underinsured, you can make a claim against Lyft’s insurance policy. 

If the accident was caused by the Lyft driver, you can make a claim against the Lyft driver’s personal car insurance. If the Lyft driver is underinsured or if the damages exceed the cover available from the Lyft driver’s personal car insurance, you can make a claim against Lyft’s car insurance.

What should I do after a Lyft accident?

Lyft instructs its drivers to call 911 after an accident. They are also required to ensure that their passengers are safe. If you were in an accident involving a Lyft driver, contact 911 if anyone is injured or if there is extensive property damage (above $500). If you have been injured it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after the accident. Some injuries may not seem serious at first. You may begin to experience their symptoms hours or days after the accident. Getting medical attention immediately after the crash ensures that your injuries are treated and you can avoid complications.

If you are able to, record as much detail about the accident as you can. Take photos of the accident scene and the damage. Record your injuries and your surroundings. You should take contacts of witnesses and even record their account of the events if possible.
