Harlem Lyft Accident Lawyer

It’s no secret that traffic accidents are more common in New York City than most other cities in the country. But just because car wrecks are common, doesn’t mean that any resulting injuries should be swept under the rug. With the variety of transportation options like Lyft, Uber, and taxis, plus the amount of vehicles that can pile up in accidents that happen on busy streets, these claims can get complicated rather quickly. If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, contact our Harlem, NY Lyft accident lawyer as soon as you can.

At The Eskesen Law Firm, our attorney provides reliable legal representation to guide you forward after Lyft accidents. We’ve recovered millions for clients we’ve served, and we’re ready to do the same for you. Lyft does have insurance plans that provide coverage for passengers when their drivers get involved in accidents, but if your injuries are rather serious, this may not cover everything you need it to. To partner with a lawyer that’s invested in your full recovery, call our office and set up a free consultation.

What Is Lyft’s Accident Policy?

Lyft’s insurance includes $1 million in third-party liability coverage and uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage. It also offers contingent comprehensive and collision coverage, up to the car’s actual cash value with a $2,500 deductible.

Generally, if the Lyft driver is logged into the Lyft app, passengers and third parties can pursue Lyft’s insurance. If they’re not, the situation becomes a private personal injury case, not a Lyft accident lawsuit.

To break it down further, both drivers and passengers are covered by Lyft’s insurance when:

• The driver has accepted a ride request and is on their way to pick up the passenger or
• The driver has the passenger in the car and is driving them to their destination.

Passengers injured in an accident when the Lyft driver is at-fault can pursue the full $1 million liability coverage, which is higher than most personal auto insurance policies. If your driver was not at-fault, our Harlem Lyft accident lawyer can pursue damages from the responsible driver as well as Lyft.

• Collision between a vehicle and a Lyft driver while they’re on their way to pick up a passenger
