Lyft accidents happen every day, leaving injured victims behind. In some cases, these crashes are even fatal.
When a Lyft accident happens, victims and the loved ones of those killed in these collisions need to understand how the law works. There may be situations when Lyft’s insurance pays for losses, in addition to the individual driver being held liable for damages.
Since multiple insurers could be liable, those who have been harmed need an experienced advocate on their side to help them determine who is to blame and to pursue a claim to recover for all of their losses.

What Does a St. Louis Lyft Accident Attorney Do to Help You After a Crash?
Lyft’s policies make clear that the company’s insurance will pick up the tab after a crash in certain circumstances.
While Lyft provides no coverage for their drivers who are in their personal vehicle with the app off, Lyft’s insurer does offer third-party liability coverage when the driver is in the vehicle with the app on and waiting for a ride. In these circumstances, Lyft’s third-party coverage offers $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident in bodily injury liability coverage as well as $25,000 in property damage coverage.
If a Lyft driver is en route to get a passenger or has a passenger in the car, then the insurance coverage provided by Lyft jumps up to $1 million in coverage or more.
Drafahl Law Firm understands how this insurance works and we know how to effectively negotiate out-of-court settlements with insurers responsible for your losses so you can avoid the stress of court proceedings. Our personal injury lawyers in St. Louis are also ready to litigate in court if needed to get you the justice you deserve.
