Lyft is convenient for moving around Manhattan. However, complications arise when you get injured in a Manhattan Lyft accident. You don’t have to worry about the complications or difficulties related to compensation post your accident, as Manhattan Lyft accident lawyers are here to help you!
Ridesharing companies like Lyft are becoming increasingly popular, and most Manhattan residents rely on Lyft; Lyft customers and drivers expect the rideshare company to uphold a certain standard of safety and care.
When you are involved in an accident with a Lyft driver, you can get confused about how to proceed with receiving your rightful compensation and achieving justice. Remember that you have the right to secure compensation if you sustain injuries or damages from the car crash, whether you were a Lyft passenger or a Lyft driver who hit you when you were in your vehicle.
Matters related to Uber car crashes are hardly straightforward. It is why for securing a favorable outcome, our team, Siler & Ingber, LLP recommends that you work with a Manhattan Lyft accident lawyer at our firm.
Proving whether a Lyft driver is responsible for an accident can be easy, however, theoretically. This is in situations where you are injured as a passenger, and Lyft is automatically liable for covering all damages associated with your injuries.
Things might get a bit more complicated when you have another motorist on the road, as Lyft will only be responsible for covering any damages if the driver was on duty at the time of the crash. This means that the fare must be running, or the driver must be on their way to pick up the passenger.
If the requirements are not satisfied, Lyft will not be responsible for covering any damages it might incur.
You must quickly and accurately file a claim against the liable party to prove liability. Your Manhattan Lyft accident lawyer will also need to compile evidence for determining whom you should seek compensation.
Your attorney may also request records of the Lyft driver’s activity log to determine whether or not they were clocked in at the time of the crash. In case the driver was not working then, we will compile witness statements, video footage, photographs, and cell phone records to prove why the driver must be held responsible for your charges.
If you get involved in a car crash with a Lyft driver and are confused about the future proceedings, our efficient team at Siler & Ingber, LLP, are here to make things easier. We will help you determine the party who is financially liable for your damages, after which we will fight for the compensation you deserve for moving forward. Contact us today.
