Lyft Accident Insurance Coverage
The Lyft Company provides liability insurance for its drivers, provided they already had a collision and comprehensive coverage from their vehicle insurance. The company also has strict regulations regarding compensation. The passenger must already be in the car, and the other driver must be the party at fault if the Lyft driver is to be compensated.
Some of the Lyft insurance policies include:
- Primary liability coverage, which covers a passenger who is in the car
- Contingent liability coverage, which covers the driver while awaiting a ride request
- Contingent collision coverage covers the Lyft driver’s vehicle.
- Underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage totaling up to $1 million per accident
Insurance Issues After a Lyft Accident
When you use a bus or a tax, these companies have specific insurance coverage that protects passengers in an auto accident. However, for a ridesharing vehicle like Lyft, the driver is under no obligation to have a separate insurance policy. Therefore, after a Lyft accident, you may not be protected by the driver’s insurance.
You will be required to contact your insurance provider for assistance in clearing medical bills. In most cases, insurance companies target down-pay accident victims. This is when an experienced Lyft accident attorney can help with your situation. If you get injured in a Lyft accident, you are eligible to receive compensation.
Our Lyft lawyer will assist you in gathering all the necessary documents to build a successful compensation claim. In other cases, the insurance company can also deny driver compensation if they use their personal vehicles for commercial purposes. The drivers also find it difficult to file for workers’ compensation since they are considered independent contractors.
