Atlanta Lyft Accident Lawyer
The city of Atlanta doesn’t have the best public transportation, so Lyft has emerged as one of the most reliable ways to get from Point A to Point B. If you need to get somewhere quickly and don’t have a car or bike, all you have to do is open an app on your smartphone and order a ride. Within minutes, you’ll be on your way to your destination – and you’ll be doing so without breaking the bank.
Unfortunately, there’s a certain degree of risk involved any time you enter a vehicle. Although most Lyft rides are uneventful, sometimes accidents happen. From fractures to spinal cord injuries, the victims in these accidents can suffer serious and lasting ailments. Here’s what you should know about Lyft auto accidents.

Establishing Liability in Lyft Accidents
Auto accidents involving Lyft and other rideshare companies can be confusing because you might not know who is to blame. Lyft drivers are independent contractors, so their actions behind the wheel are not necessarily the company’s responsibility. If you suffer an injury as a passenger in one of these vehicles, you may have various methods to recover compensation for your injury.
- The Lyft Driver: You may be able to recover compensation from the Lyft driver if they have a commercial insurance policy or a provision in their auto insurance policy that covers ridesharing. However, most of the time, Lyft drivers don’t have commercial insurance, nor do they have a ridesharing provision, as it’s not required to drive for the company.
- Lyft: You may be able to collect damages through Lyft’s commercial liability insurance coverage, which covers up to $1 million in damages per person, per accident.
- The Other Driver: If the Lyft driver was not at fault and another driver was to blame for the accident, you can sue their insurance company to recoup your losses.
