Lyft drivers, for both the passenger and food delivery services, are not typical employees but are special independent contractors. This means that there are unique legal issues that arise when an accident happens involving Lyft drivers and customers. At The Guardians of the Injured, we understand the critical steps that need to be taken by all parties following an accident and how they can best navigate the legal challenges to follow.
When we take on a case, we provide a legal team that has proven experience handling Rideshare issues and that is dedicated to getting you the compensation you deserve.
How Will a Lawyer Help Me if I Have Been in a Lyft Crash?
Lyft and other rideshare services provide a great modern transportation alternative; however, there are still many kinks in the system, and accidents are all too common. Sometimes negligent drivers may be put in place by Lyft, or a Lyft driver may be put into a dangerous position by the rideshare company, another driver, or a passenger.
Whether due to negligent drivers, unruly passengers, or some other cause, Lyft accidents are a relatively common occurrence.
We also understand that harm can come in many forms, and you may be due compensation for mental, physical, or financial damages (both present and future) as a result of your Lyft accident. At The Guardians of the Injured, we ensure your damages are comfortably covered and that you have everything you need to move on and live your best life.

Rideshare Accident Claims FAQ
While we are ready to be your advocate in your court, this is often not needed. In most cases, your Rideshare claim will not require a lengthy court process. In fact, many of these Lyft and Uber issues are settled out of court to avoid the costs and time needed to prosecute a case.
The cause of an accident is often disputed between parties, and this becomes even more complicated when insurance companies and rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber get involved. With so much compilation, it is often difficult to get the compensation that you should. When you have an experienced attorney in your corner, these hurdles become much easier to clear, and you are much more likely to receive everything that you deserve.
Suppose you are involved in a rideshare accident where any injuries or damages have occurred, especially ones that have affected you physically, emotionally, or financially. In that case, you should immediately seek legal counsel. The issue for many is that seeking the advice of a lawyer regarding issues with companies like Uber and Lyft can be very time-consuming and expensive. This is why The Guardians of the Injured offers a free case evaluation. We ensure you can get a professional option without financial risk or wasted time.
Make sure you do not speak to people other than your legal representatives about your case. Do not make any social media posts about your case.
Your unique situation can drastically change the circumstance and the eventual time to payout for your case. The severity of losses or injuries and the dollar amount involved will often be major indicators of the time a case may take. According to a national survey, it takes roughly eleven months for the average car accident case to be settled. When Uber or Lyft are involved, this time may increase or decrease depending on many factors. We will do everything we can to move our process along as quickly as possible without compromising your case’s quality.
The amount of money that can be received from a claim will depend on many factors, including insurance limits, current and future medical bills, costs of damage to your car or other property, lost wages and the long-term prospects for work, and general loss of quality of life. It will also depend on the amount of liability that Uber or Lyft may share.
Typically, after your initial case review, you can get a ballpark number based on past cases with similar circumstances. It is impossible to give a complex number without first looking at medical records, gathering statements, and weighing several relevant factors.
