Essential Steps After a Lyft Accident Injury

We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!

A Lyft accident can be disorienting, leaving passengers, drivers, or pedestrians injured and unsure of their next steps. Taking the right actions can safeguard your health and bolster your injury claim. With extensive experience in rideshare cases, Kaiser Romanello Accident & Injury Attorneys offers this clear guide to protect your rights.

Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Prioritize your health by seeking medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries. Conditions like whiplash or concussions may not be immediately apparent but require prompt diagnosis. Medical records also provide essential evidence to support your injury claim.

Document the Accident Scene

If safe, collect evidence at the crash site. Photograph the vehicles, any visible injuries, and road conditions. Obtain contact information from witnesses and record the Lyft driver’s details, including their name, license plate, and driver ID from the app, to strengthen your case.

Report the Accident to Lyft

Notify Lyft promptly via the app’s “Help” or “Safety” section. Lyft’s insurance, offering up to $1 million in liability coverage depending on the driver’s status (e.g., on a ride or awaiting a passenger), may cover injuries. Timely reporting ensures your claim is documented properly.

Avoid Discussions with Insurance Adjusters

Insurance companies, including Lyft’s, may offer quick settlements that undervalue your claim, failing to account for long-term medical bills or lost wages. Politely decline to discuss specifics until you’ve consulted an attorney to protect your interests.

Consult a Personal Injury Attorney

Lyft accident claims involve complex interactions between multiple parties and insurance policies. An experienced attorney can investigate fault, negotiate with insurers, and pursue fair compensation. Delaying risks losing critical evidence or missing claim deadlines.
