Types of Lyft Accidents
- A Lyft passenger, when the Lyft driver is at fault
- A Lyft passenger, when another driver is at fault
- Someone in another vehicle, when the Lyft driver is responsible
- Pedestrian or bicyclist who is struck by a Lyft driver
- Motorcyclist who is struck by a Lyft driver
- Lyft driver, when someone else causes an accident
- Accidents because of road hazards and vehicle defects
There are many ways that an accident can involve a Lyft driver or vehicle. If you are the passenger in the rideshare vehicle, it is unlikely that you could share any kind of fault for an accident. You need to determine your damages, what party has legal fault and who may pay compensation.
For anyone who is hurt in a Lyft accident, our lawyers will investigate how you may recover from your injuries.
Compensation for Lyft Accidents
California accident laws don’t change because a driver is operating for Lyft. If they are at fault for an accident, they owe compensation to the victims. Fault may be as simple as a traffic violation, including:
- Speeding
- Improper lane change
- Lane use violation, cutting someone off
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Reckless driving
- Following too closely, tailgating
There are also ways an accident or injuries may occur that are unique to a rideshare service. These include:
- Stopping in a dangerous spot to embark or disembark passengers
- Departing before passengers are secured in the vehicle
- Vehicle defects including failing to have accessible seat belts
- Interacting with the app instead of paying attention to the road
- Operating for too many hours without a break
What your Lyft accident claim is worth
Whatever the situation, a Lyft passenger or another injured victim deserves compensation when someone is at fault for an accident. The payment you receive should cover your losses, both economic and non-economic. You may claim compensation for medical bills, both immediately following the accident and throughout your course of treatment. You may also seek payment for lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental health injury and emotional anguish.
Settlements and verdicts
Too many people settle their case for less than it is worth. As part of our representation, we make sure that no area of damages is overlooked. We will pursue all efforts for you to receive a fair settlement or verdict.

Lyft Accident Case FAQs
How long does it take Lyft to investigate an accident?
A Lyft investigation may take several weeks. It may take longer if there are complex issues in the case. However, don’t accept the first settlement without talking to a lawyer. With pain and suffering, long-term damages and emotional anguish, your compensation may be worth more than you think.
What if Lyft says they’re not liable for the accident?
Remember that Lyft makes its profits from collecting fares, not from compensating accident victims. Don’t give up without speaking with our lawyers about your situation.
Can multiple drivers be at fault for a Lyft accident?
Multiple drivers can be at fault for an accident. Every driver has a legal obligation to operate with due care. Our lawyers can help you evaluate a situation where multiple drivers may be at fault.
Can you be a Lyft driver with speeding tickets?
Many accident victims are surprised to learn that Lyft allows drivers to have up to three moving violations in three years. Getting speeding tickets isn’t necessarily disqualifying. As your accident lawyer, we’ll look at the driver’s history leading up to the crash.
Does Lyft offer insurance for its drivers?
Lyft may provide accident compensation of up to $1 million. The insurance applies when the driver is giving a ride or is on their way to pick up a rider. When the app is active, but the driver hasn’t accepted a ride, more limited insurance applies. A driver’s insurance may also apply.
