Your Cincinnati, OH Lyft Accident Lawyer Will Establish Liability
In a rideshare accident case, the rideshare driver, Lyft, or another party could be liable. These parties may also share liability. To hold these parties accountable, our team must prove:
- The other party had a responsibility to act with care (This is referred to as a duty of care)
- The other party acted irresponsibly and carelessly (This is called a breach of duty)
- The other party’s actions led to the incident (Causation)
- The incident led to losses you can show (Damages)
The following evidence could help your legal team establish liability:
- Data from Lyft’s driver app
- Details from the authorities’ accident report
- A statement from a witness or an expert witness
- Photos a witness took of the accident scene
- Footage from a camera, like a traffic or security camera
The Driver’s Status at the Time of the Accident Determines Who Pays for Your Injuries and Losses
Determining whose insurance covers your injuries and losses depends on whether the driver was working at the time.
- If the driver was not logged into the app, their personal insurance covers any injuries they cause in an accident.
- If they are logged into the app but have not matched with a passenger, Lyft offers insurance which only applies if the driver’s personal insurance refuses to cover the accident.
- If the driver is on their way to pick up a passenger or has a passenger in their car, Lyft’s liability insurance covers your injuries.
Insurance can be very confusing. Our team will identify the liable party(s) in your case.
