Los Angeles Lyft Accident Guide

Our Firm Is Familiar with Common Traffic Accident Sites in Los Angeles

Legal Fighters Logo In a single year, there can be as many as 11,202 traffic accident victims injured and killed in Los Angeles, and sometimes more. Some roads are more dangerous than others, with residents frequently referring to “the 101” and “the 405” with disdain. These freeways are among the most congested—and dangerous—in LA.

In fact, Interstate 5’s southbound stretch in Los Angeles is the second-most congested traffic corridor in the entire country. Some other dangerous sites where Lyft accidents may be especially likely to take place in Los Angeles include:

  • Interstate110 (also known as the Harbor Freeway)
  • The intersection of Sherman Way & Woodman Ave. in Van Nuys
  • The intersection of Imperial Highway & Figueroa St. in Vermont Vista
  • The Santa Monica Freeway
  • Interstate 15

The traffic in Los Angeles is notorious, and such dense traffic can increase the likelihood of Lyft accidents (and other traffic accidents) because:

  • The more vehicles are in close quarters, the more opportunities there are for those vehicles to collide
  • Many of the streets listed above have high speed limits, and high speeds are generally associated with increased accident risk
  • Traffic can cause people to be upset, which can lead to irrational or dangerous driving acts
  • Drivers may be more likely to use their phone or engage in other distracting practices during periods of intermittent traffic

Whether you were in a Lyft accident at high speeds or not, you deserve fair compensation for injuries, property damage, and all other harm resulting from the collision.

Pedestrian-Heavy Areas of Los Angeles Can Also See Many Lyft Accidents

Lyft accidents may also be more likely to occur in areas where a high volume of pedestrians, which in Los Angeles can include:

  • Areas around Crypto.com Arena
  • Many areas of Santa Monica
  • West Hollywood
  • Koreatown

Any area with an abundance of restaurants, bars, outdoor activities, and entertainment venues can be environments with a heightened accident risk. Lyft accidents may be particularly likely in pedestrian-dense areas, as it’s pedestrians who are often hailing Lyft for a ride.

  • Know the conditions under which Lyft’s insurance does and does not apply to accidents (and how different variables affect coverage limits)
  • Have used several different strategies, including insurance claims and lawsuits, to secure fair compensation for many Lyft accident victims

When you have recovered billions for clients, you have amassed substantial experience that applies to future cases. Our attorneys are always calm and composed because we have legitimately been there and done that.

  • An attorney affords much-needed protection: Simply hiring a lawyer affords you immediate protection.

Services You Can Expect from Your LA Lyft Accident Attorney

Super Lawyers 2025Our attorneys have represented many clients injured during rideshare accidents, and no two cases are exactly alike. We are adaptable lawyers who do what each individual client needs us to do. That being said, some of the duties we often oversee for traffic accident victims are:

  • Securing evidence to prove fault for the Lyft accident: Lyft drivers often have dashboard cameras, and footage from such a camera can be valuable to your case. This may be one of several types of evidence your lawyer uses to prove fault for the collision.
  • Obtaining medical records and other documentation of economic damages: Our lawyers always operate under the assumption that liable parties are going to challenge our case. Therefore, we strive to secure air-tight proof of clients’ damages. This proof often includes medical records, bills from healthcare providers, expert testimony about our clients’ financial losses, invoices from automotive repair professionals, and income statements showing the professional cost of Lyft accidents.
  • Documenting non-economic damages: Pain and suffering is typically an important feature of our Lyft accident cases. We will document your account of any physical pain, emotional anguish, psychological distress, lost quality of life, and other forms of pain and suffering resulting from your accident. We may also hire a mental health professional to supplement your accounts.
  • Establishing a clear case value (which includes future damages): Each Lyft accident has a cost, and we will assign an evidence-based financial figure to your case. This figure will include all of your damages, including any you have not yet faced.
  • Pursuing a fair settlement offer: We consider anything but a fair financial recovery for our client to be a failure. Your Los Angeles Lyft accident lawyer will enter negotiations knowing exactly how much money you deserve. They will furnish all relevant documentation of damages, evidence of fault, and other case materials. They will then engage in financial negotiations with any party that is responsible for your accident-related damages.
  • Moving forward with any necessary lawsuit or trial: A lawsuit can be necessary for a number of reasons, from a motorist’s lack of insurance to broken-down negotiations with liable parties. If you need to file a lawsuit, and if that lawsuit goes to trial, Legal Fighters will continue to fight aggressively for you.

As they complete every step of your case, your lawyer will be serving you in other ways. They will lend you advice, answer your questions, prompt you to take action when necessary, and ensure you’re getting the treatment you need.

Damages We Often Include in Lyft Accident-Related Settlement Demands

Experise.com 2024 BadgeUntil we dive into your case, we can only guess what damages you’re facing. One of our first priorities will be to document the full extent and financial cost of your damages, which may include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • The cost of accident-related mental health services
  • The economic and non-economic challenges that come with disabling injuries
