Lyft offers varying levels of coverage based on the driver’s status in the app at the time of the crash. That’s why the details matter.
If a Lyft driver is not logged into the app, Lyft’s insurance generally does not apply. In such situations, the driver’s personal auto insurance policy is typically the primary source of coverage, similar to a typical car accident.
If the driver is logged into the Lyft app and waiting for a ride request, Lyft typically provides contingent liability coverage of up to $50,000 per person for bodily injury and $100,000 per accident. This coverage may also help pay for property damage of up to $25,000.
Once a driver accepts a ride request or has a passenger in the vehicle, Lyft generally provides up to $1,000,000 in coverage. This can include significant uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, which may apply if another driver caused the crash and doesn’t have enough insurance.
Determining which policy applies often requires a careful look at app data, driver status, and the insurance terms. We can help sort through those details and pursue the coverage that fits your situation.
Lyft accidents occur for many of the same reasons as other crashes, but rideshare driving can introduce additional risk. Common causes include distracted driving (especially from app use), speeding to reach a pickup or drop-off, driver fatigue, and unfamiliarity with local streets.
Madison’s busy downtown areas, university traffic, and changing weather can also increase the risk of a crash. Identifying the cause of the accident is a crucial step in establishing liability and building a strong injury claim.
If you were injured in a Lyft accident, you may be able to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. These can include medical expenses, future care needs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Every case is different. The value of a claim depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, the available insurance coverage, and how the accident has affected your day-to-day life. Our attorneys will work to understand the full impact of what you’re going through and pursue compensation that reflects it.
