This is some information that the lawyers at Baumgartner Law Firm always look for after a car accident involving a Lyft driver.
Lyft provides insurance coverage for its drivers in certain circumstances. A personal injury claim always depends on who is at fault for the car accident. Generally, the at-fault driver’s insurance provides the primary liability coverage for a personal injury claim.
However, a Lyft driver may have individual insurance and also Lyft-provided insurance. Determining which insurance policy may apply can be a complicated matter. Call our car accident lawyers for a no-obligation consultation. (281) 587-1111!
Worse, insurance companies often fight over who must provide liability or UIM coverage when there is more than one policy that may apply. If you have been injured severely in a Lyft accident, you will need to consult an experienced attorney handling Lyft personal injury claims. The Lyft accident lawyers in Houston at Baumgartner Law Firm help people injured in all types of Rideshare, Uber, and Lyft wrecks.
You are a passenger in a Lyft vehicle, and the other car is at fault.
Because you are a passenger determining which insurance policy may apply and each insurance policy is a critical step when your injuries are severe, the driver’s insurance policy would be the primary source of liability coverage.
If the policy limits for the negligent driver are insufficient or an uninsured driver hits you, your insurance policy on your car may provide coverage. The Lyft underinsured, uninsured motorist coverage may also be helpful. Talking with an attorney experienced in Lyft coverage issues can help clarify the possibilities.
The Lyft commercial insurance policy should be applicable. Lyft provides primary liability insurance for the time the ride has been accepted until the wind has ended, according to the app. The left commercial policy offers one million in coverage per accident.
This would cover all persons injured in the accident caused by the negligence of the Lyft driver. Your own insurance coverage may also provide benefits to cover some of your damages.
The other driver’s insurance company would be responsible for your damages if the Lyft Driver were not at fault. Lyft and your auto policy may provide extra UIM or UM insurance coverage.
Like above, if the accident is the Lyft driver’s fault and the Lyft driver was on the job with a ride in progress, the Lyft driver’s commercial insurance policy would probably provide the primary liability coverage for the injured. Frequently, there is a dispute between the Lyft insurance policy adjuster and the Lyft driver’s personal auto insurance policy. This dispute can make a personal injury claim much more complicated and frustrating for the victim. We work to determine which insurance policies apply and learn the amounts of coverage available. How best to present your personal injury claim is all matter that our Lyft accident attorneys at Baumgartner Law Firm consider when representing you with a Lyft car accident claim.
The Lyft accident lawyers in Houston at Baumgartner Law Firm have handled thousands of serious personal injury claims over the last 40 years. Personal injury damages in car accident lawsuits in Texas include:
In Texas, persons entitled to bring a wrongful death case include the deceased’s parents, spouses, and children. The damages available to family members relate to their relationship with the deceased.
Hiring a wrongful death attorney should always be done after a fatal accident. If the deceased initially survived, a survival claim can be brought by the estate for the damages that the deceased suffered before passing. These damages include pain and suffering, medical bills, funeral expenses, and other personal injury damages.
In all serious injuries or fatal accidents, an attorney should be consulted.
Lyft car accident cases are more complex than an average automobile injury accident. The available insurance coverage can be a significant issue because of the insurance issues and the difference between commercial policies and the minimum liability policies in Texas.
To find the best lawyer for someone injured in an accident with a Lyft driver, look for an attorney skilled in insurance coverage issues and who only handles personal injury clients. Doing some homework on the attorneys you are considering before retaining one is helpful.
Online reviews can be a source of information if former clients write them. If you see a lawyer for Lyft accidents with hundreds of online reviews, question whether the reviews are from all previous clients and, if so, whether you want to be represented by such a high-volume law firm.
The more cases a law firm handles, the more likely you are to be a number rather than a person to them.
Also, it makes an enormous difference in who is doing the work on your claim. Will it be a skilled and experienced attorney or an inexperienced associate learning on the job? One common scenario is that the partner signs up and “monitors” the file when, in reality, an associate handles the case from start to finish with little to no involvement by the partner.
Unfortunately, who does the work on your case matters. Will your case be worked on by an associate or paralegal, or would it be an attorney whom you know by first name?
Next, you may consider reviewing the peer review ratings of the attorney and determining who might best fit your injury case. Be mindful that many awards have a financial relationship with the awarding company. Sites like Martindale.com are a good place to start because the rankings are based on other attorneys’ input, not pay!
Finally, ensure you are comfortable with the attorney you are considering and feel good after meeting with them in person. Changing attorneys can always be done, but it is complex and can cost you more.
It is much better to do your homework before you hire an attorney and get the best attorney rather than realizing that you have the wrong one after they have worked on the case.
