Do These Crashes Really Happen?
We want you to know that most ridesharing trips are completely safe. However, accidents are going to happen regardless of which vehicles you are in. For the Latest Reporting Year in Pennsylvania, there were more than 128,000 vehicle crashes. You can be sure that some of those crashes involved a Lyft vehicle.
Who can get hurt in these crashes?
- A Lyft driver and their passengers
- Passengers in other vehicles
- Third parties (Bicyclists and Pedestrians)
It is not uncomhttps://gproslaw.com/auto-accidents/pedestrian-accidents.shtml/mon for us to see the following injuries as a result of vehicle crashes:
- Broken or dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations or amputations
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
The most important thing that needs to happen after a crash is to seek medical attention no matter how minor an injury may seem. Even minor injuries can become incredibly expensive to treat. Major injuries can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially if rehabilitation is necessary for a victim to make a full recovery.
Lyft Has Insurance
We want you to know that Lyft does have insurance, but it depends on what is going on at the time of a Lyft vehicle crash as to how much they will cover.
What do we mean?
- If a Lyft driver is not signed onto the app to work, then Lyft will not cover any expenses and you will have to rely on coverage from the driver’s personal insurance company.
- If a Lyft driver is online and waiting for a fare but has no passengers, their personal insurance is still the primary insurance in the event of a crash. Lyft will cover expenses only if the primary insurer does not.
- If a Lyft driver is on the way to pick up a fare or has passengers, Lyft’s $1 million policy is active to cover the driver, passengers, and others affected in a crash.
