San Antonio Lyft Accident Lawyer

When you are involved in an accident involving a Lyft driver, you have the same rights as you do after any other vehicle collision. You are entitled to have your property damage repair or replacement costs covered, and you are entitled to full financial compensation for the long-term effects of your physical and emotional injuries.

However, auto accidents involving drivers engaged with Lyft and other ride-sharing providers involve certain unique issues as well. For example, did you know that Lyft carries insurance that provides $1,000,000 in coverage for each accident involving one of its drivers? As a result, if you were injured as a Lyft passenger or as the occupant of another vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation from:

  • Lyft’s insurance company
  • The Lyft driver’s insurance company
  • Your own personal auto insurance policy
  • Another third party that was at fault in the accident
