Should I Hire a Lyft Accident Attorney?

If you have been injured in an accident that involved a Lyft vehicle, you should contact a Lyft accident attorney at the Hines Law Firm as soon as possible. Dealing with ridesharing collisions can be complex. These cases are often difficult to handle without the experienced legal help of an attorney who specializes in rideshare accidents. 
Several parties may be held liable for your motor vehicle collision and the laws are constantly changing. At the Hines Law Firm, our legal team will handle all communication with the insurance company and Lyft, to ensure you recover the compensation you’re owed for an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Rideshare Insurance

person who caused a car crash can be held liable for the resulting damages. Georgia requires Lyft and other rideshare companies to carry liability insurance coverage of up to one million dollars. However, this coverage only applies when an attorney can prove that the Lyft driver was at fault for the collision.

Lyft isn’t required to provide insurance coverage if a driver isn’t logged into the app at the time of the accident. For example, if the driver was not active on the app and on their way home and they were involved in a collision, the driver’s insurance policy would be active, not Lyft’s.
