Lyft Accident Lawyer Richardson, TX
The aftereffects of a car crash leave you in pain for weeks, facing the probability of invasive medical procedures and no guarantee that you’ll fully recover. If you were the other driver in the crash, your car may be totaled or require thousands of dollars in repairs. Meanwhile, your injuries likely left you unable to work for days or maybe weeks, so there’s no money coming in to pay these bills and your household expenses.
Texas is an at-fault state for car accidents, which means that the driver who caused the wreck is responsible for paying the damages of people they injured, including another driver and, if they are a rideshare driver, their passengers, too. Lyft drivers are covered by a $1 million liability policy that applies when the driver is logged into the app and actively transporting a fare. If the driver is logged in to the app, but doesn’t yet have a passenger in their vehicle, they’re still covered by Lyft’s liability policy, but the coverage is less.
Our Richardson Lyft accident lawyer can help you prove the Lyft driver’s liability and secure a fair settlement to cover all your accident-related medical care, property damage (including the cost of replacing your car, if necessary), and other damages, such as pain and suffering. We have extensive experience constructing a claim involving third-party agents, like you’ll find in rideshare crash claims, and handling all the legal matters necessary to pursue your settlement.
Why Our Experience Matters After A Rideshare Collision
The Lyft Corporation has an entire legal department with one mission: Keep you from getting any money after the wreck. Their lawyers may unfairly blame the accident on you, in an effort to bar you from recovering compensation or reduce any settlement they have to pay you. Our Richardson Lyft accident lawyer is familiar with these tactics and has several successful arguments ready to overcome them.
