Las Vegas Lyft Accident Attorney
Las Vegas Lyft Accident
Lyft is one of the best options for getting around Las Vegas. You don't have to worry about finding parking or dealing with traffic, whether crossing Interstate 15, going to the Downtown Summerlin shopping center, or anywhere else in the city. You sit back, and the Lyft driver takes care of everything. However, as much as it offers convenience, it can also make things worse for everyone in the event of an accident.
It does not matter if you are a passenger, a Lyft driver, a pedestrian, or another driver; you may need to deal with multiple insurers. As well, Lyft insurance policies are more complex to navigate.
If you were involved in a Lyft accident in Las Vegas, contact us. Our car accident lawyer can guide you through the complexities of the legal process and help you obtain maximum compensation so you can focus solely on your recovery.
The Challenges of Recovering Compensation After a Lyft Accident
Some of the most common challenges are:
Determining Who Is Responsible for Your Losses
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule.
It means whoever is at fault becomes responsible for your damages. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Generally, several parties become involved in a Lyft accident and share the fault. The law makes them responsible for the damages they caused in proportion to their degree of fault.
In a Lyft accident, three parties are usually involved: the Lyft company, the personal insurance company of the Lyft driver, and the other driver. A party whose fault is less than 51% can recover damages from the other parties in proportion. Generally, if you are a passenger in a Lyft, you will most likely not be at fault.
Insurance Companies Operate for Financial Gain
Insurance companies are profit-making entities.
They have a whole team of professionals, whom they pay well to protect their profit. Their team has extensive experience handling cases like yours and is well-versed in techniques to minimize your payout or even deny your personal injury claim.
Therefore, when you file your claim, they try all their techniques, from using recorded statements against you to making you look like you were at fault. It does not matter whether you file your claim against Lyft or any other insurance company; everyone prioritizes their financial interests.
So, recovering compensation after a Lyft accident is not straightforward.
Our Lyft accident attorneys are well-versed in all these challenges. They can help you obtain maximum compensation for your Lyft accident.
Tricky Insurance Schemes of Lyft
While many people, including Lyft drivers, believe that Lyft provides million-dollar coverage for everyone, this is not the case. It offers different levels of coverage depending on its driver status. In some situations, it denies responsibility altogether.
When Lyft Does Not Provide Coverage:
Lyft does not take responsibility for accidents when its drivers are not online on its app. In these cases, the personal insurance company of the Lyft driver or the other driver provides coverage, depending on the circumstances.
When Lyft Does Provide Coverage:
Client Focused. Aggressive Advocacy.
