The difference between a regular car accident and a Lyft car accident is one and a half million dollars. If you were involved in a Lyft accident in which the Lyft driver was responsible for the crash and was carrying a Lyft passenger at the time, you will be eligible to claim up to $1.5 million in compensation for injuries and damages resulting from the accident. While Lyft drivers are not considered employees of Lyft, they are covered by Uber’s commercial insurance policy which provides up to $1.5 million for injuries to passengers and other third parties involved in the accident. However, this commercial insurance coverage is only available when the Lyft driver is ‘on the clock’ i.e. they have the app on and are either carrying a passenger or waiting for requests from passengers. These differences can make recovering compensation in a Lyft case complicated. An experienced Freehold Lyft accident lawyer can help you navigate these complexities.
