Rideshare services, including Lyft, have contributed to traffic congestion in Glendale and throughout the country. More importantly, Lyft vehicles are one more potential hazard to worry about, as their drivers can speed, text and drive, operate an unsafe vehicle, and engage in other dangerous behaviors—behaviors that inevitably lead to accidents.
Whether a Lyft driver or someone else caused your collision, you deserve a lawyer who will demand financial justice while treating you like family. That’s why you should choose your Glendale Lyft accident lawyer from Legal Fighters. Call us today at (888) 586-4957 to complete your free consultation about how our firm will serve you.
When vehicles collide, the most important consideration is that everyone gets to safety and seeks the medical care they need. You should seek any such medical attention if you have not already done so.
Once all parties are safe, your next priority should be receiving the compensation you need. It’s a priority best left to Legal Fighters, as we have experience representing:
Legal Fighters also represents clients who lose loved ones because of Lyft accidents. If you have suffered any harm during or after an accident involving at least one Lyft vehicle, we are the firm to speak with.
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).
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:
Several factors may influence whether you ultimately decide to sue an at-fault driver. Our attorneys will explain your options clearly, provide our advice, and update you as necessary as we move your case forward. If suing becomes your best option, Legal Fighters won’t hesitate to file and complete your case.
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:
These coverages are necessary because personal auto insurance policies do not always cover rideshare drivers. Even if a Lyft driver’s personal insurance does apply, coverage limits may not be sufficient to cover your damages. Such circumstances may lead your lawyer to file a claim with Lyft’s insurance provider.
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:
Lyft has logical guidelines for approving drivers. However, a lack of due diligence or adherence to those guidelines can qualify as negligence by Lyft and may make you eligible to file a lawsuit.
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.

A Lyft accident case can prove challenging because of:
While Lyft has significant insurance coverage, factors that can affect whether you are eligible for this coverage include:
Maximum insurance coverage applies if the driver was actively picking up or dropping off a rider. We may need to determine if Lyft’s insurance applies and how much coverage you are entitled to, and then convince Lyft’s insurer to pay the compensation you deserve.
Your attorney may need to gather certain evidence or information from Lyft. This is particularly true if we believe Lyft engaged in negligence, such as allowing an unfit driver to work as a contractor.
It’s often difficult to obtain evidence or information from someone you may be suing, but our attorneys have done so many times before.
Bad-faith tactics from insurers are one of the hurdles accident victims must often overcome. We are ready to address:
Insurance companies have their own financial agenda—we aren’t naive to that fact. However, our job is to obtain all the compensation our clients deserve, and that will be our mission in your case.
A winning Lyft accident case generally includes:
If liable parties do not offer a fair settlement, a winning case may also require a well-conceived trial strategy and a convincing case presented in front of a judge and jury.
We are going to identify and assign an accurate monetary value to each of your damages, which may include:
If you have any other economic or non-economic damages, your lawyer will include those damages in our settlement demands or any case we make at trial.
