How Fault and Liability Are Established in Lyft Accident Cases

Establishing fault and liability in Uber accident cases can be a multilayered process. Our Lyft collision attorneys have managed York County accident cases extensively enough to know that the average rideshare accident legal process usually includes the following steps:

  1. Determining who is at fault: The first step in establishing fault is to determine who caused the accident. This may involve an investigation by law enforcement, witness statements, and other evidence.
  2. Identifying the liable parties: Once fault has been established, the next step is to identify the liable parties. This may include the Uber driver, other drivers involved in the accident, and even Uber itself.
  3. Reviewing insurance coverage: The liability of Uber and its drivers will depend on several factors, including the driver’s status at the time of the accident (i.e., whether they were logged into the app or transporting passengers) and the amount of insurance coverage available.
  4. Filing a claim: If you were injured in an Uber accident, you may be able to file a claim with Uber’s insurance company or another insurance company. Your attorney can help you navigate this process and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
  5. Negotiating a settlement: In many cases, Uber’s insurance company will offer a settlement to compensate for damages suffered in the accident. Your attorney can negotiate on your behalf and ensure that the settlement offer is fair and covers all of your damages.
  6. Pursuing legal action: If a settlement cannot be reached, your attorney may recommend pursuing legal action against the at-fault party or parties.

Determine If You Need a Lawyer for Your Rideshare Accident Claim

If you’ve been injured in a Lyft accident, you may be wondering whether you need an attorney to help you with your case. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether to hire a rideshare accident attorney:

  • The severity of your injuries: If you suffered minor injuries in the accident and have already received compensation from the insurance company, you may not need an attorney. However, if your injuries are more serious and require ongoing medical treatment, an attorney can help ensure that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
  • Liability and fault issues: If there are disputes over who was at fault for the accident, an attorney can help you gather evidence and build a strong case to prove liability. This is especially important if you are partially at fault for the accident.
  • Insurance coverage: If you’re having trouble dealing with insurance companies or if you’re unsure of the coverage available to you, an attorney can help explain your options and ensure that you receive the maximum compensation available.
  • Negotiating a settlement: If you’re having trouble negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance company, an attorney can help you negotiate on your behalf and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
