Our Lawyers Will Determine Who Owes You Money for Your Lyft Accident in Glendale
Rideshare accidents happen for the same reasons that any traffic accident can happen. Drivers are careless. Glendale’s roads, from Interstate 5 (I-5) to the Lazzaretto Freeway and Brand Boulevard, are not always safe for various reasons. Vehicle manufacturers produce and sell defective and dangerous products. Even Lyft’s representatives can be negligent in ways that lead to accidents. One of your lawyer’s most important duties will be determining who is at fault for your collision. They will also determine who owes you compensation (based on their finding of fault).The Driver Responsible for the Accident (Assuming a Driver Was Responsible)
Our attorneys handle many rideshare accident cases, and drivers are most often at fault for the collisions. Speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, dangerous lane changes, and tailgating are among the When a Lyft driver or another motorist causes a collision, the victim may seek compensation by:- Filing a claim with the at-fault motorist’s insurance provider
- Suing the at-fault driver
Lyft’s Insurance Company
Lyft recognizes that when the company is responsible for 700 million rides in a single year, accidents are going to happen. This is why Lyft offers its drivers robust insurance coverage, which may include:- Up to $1 million in liability coverage (under certain circumstances)
- PIP coverage, MedPay, uninsured motorist coverage (which may be helpful if you are a Lyft driver injured while on the job)
- Comprehensive and collision coverage
Lyft Itself
In cases where representatives of Lyft engage in negligence that leads to a collision, the company may be susceptible to a lawsuit. While Lyft’s considerable insurance coverage is often enough to cover accident victims’ damages, a lawsuit may be appropriate if Lyft:- Approved a contractor with a driving record or criminal history that should have disqualified them
- Somehow allows a driver without a valid license, registration, or plates to give rides
- Does not take reasonable measures to ensure the person on the Lyft driver account is the same person giving rides
- Approves a vehicle that is not roadworthy
- Engages in any other instances of negligence that contribute to an accident
Any Other Party Whose Negligence Contributed to the Accident
If our investigation reveals that someone else contributed to your accident, we will factor that into our strategy. For example, if we found that a pedestrian running into the roadway or a bar that over-served an impaired driver contributed to the collision, we’d determine what this means for liability.
