Lyft Accident Lawyer Monterey, CA

A key component in every accident case is liability. When rideshare vehicles are involved in a crash, assigning blame becomes more complicated. Lyft drivers are independent contractors, which means they are not actually employees of the company. Their status on the app can influence whether or not Lyft can be held responsible for any damages you suffered because of the crash. If the rideshare driver is active, meaning they are in the process of accepting or completing a ride, Lyft’s third-party liability policy may apply. However, if the driver was acting with intentional recklessness or offline, accident claims are filed through their personal insurance.

You may be eligible to file a claim for compensation as another driver or as a passenger. Recoverable damages after a crash include the cost to repair or replace property, medical bills incurred from injuries sustained, emotional distress, and more. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries and how they are impacting your life and ability to work. Our personal injury attorney will advocate for a maximum monetary award, like in a recent rollover car accident case where we secured a $5.6 million settlement for our client.

When you work with our Monterey Lyft accident lawyer, we conduct a thorough investigation to determine what happened. Critical evidence that can bolster your case includes the police report of the accident, your medical bills, photos of the scene, eyewitness statements, and videos of the crash. The sooner you reach out to our legal team, the more successful we will be at collecting and preserving evidence.

Why Experience Matters In Lyft Accident Cases

Lyft is a massive corporation whose sole goal is to make as much money as possible. Their team of high-powered lawyers and insurers will do everything possible to deny or minimize a settlement. According to Lyft’s policies, drivers are required to meet minimum documentation requirements and are subject to frequent reviews of their driving records. If our attorney finds that Lyft failed in hiring safe contractors, the executives will want to bury their misconduct. They may reach out to you directly, pressuring you to accept a deal. Always leave the negotiations to our litigators to protect your rights and make sure you get full compensation.
