Types of Lyft Accidents

Lyftaccidents happen in many ways, and some are due to the Lyft rideshare experience. Some of these are:

• Lyft car hits a pedestrian
• Lyft car hits a cyclist
• Lyft car hits a scooter rider/ebike rider
• Lyft passenger is injured by another driver
• Cyclist or motorcycle rider hit by open Lyft door.

No matter the type of Lyft accident, if the Lyft driver is at fault, then he or she has to pay the victim full compensation for their injuries. Sometimes the cost of the injuries outstrips the policy limits of the at-fault driver. Lyft Accidents and Insurance When a victim is injured in a Lyft accident, there is possible more compensation available for the victim. Every Lyft driver is required by the state of California to have insurance with a minimum coverage of $50,000 for bodily injury for each person, $100,000 cap on accident, which is over 3 times the minimum for personal use drivers. California law also requires this insurance to be in effect when the driver has logged on to the app regardless of whether he or she has accepted a ride request from a customer. If the victim was injured because of the Lyft driver and the person is on an official ride, then there is a $1 million liability policy that covers Lyft. So, this means that if a Lyft car hits you when it has a passenger on a ride, then there is a $1 million policy to cover losses. If the car hits you when the driver is not on a paying ride, then the Lyft driver’s policy will pay for damages. Lyft Accident Injuries The severity of the injury will often determine the impact that the accident has on the victim. There are times when the injured never recovers fully and has to deal with the accident for the rest of their life.
