Over the course of the last decade, Lyft and other ride sharing services have swept the nation. In the 2020s, more and more people are electing to take a Lyft to work or after a night out on the town. Although sometimes safer than driving yourself, Lyfts are vehicles like any other and have their fair share of flaws.
The increased popularity of Lyft means that accidents involving Lyft and other rideshare companies have increased as well. In their immediate aftermath, accidents are never easy to manage. Fortunately, Elstein Legal can help.
Liability in a Lyft Accident in Delray Beach
In the state of Florida, a unique law positions Lyft drivers as independent contractors. This law essentially means that, if you get in an accident, it will be difficult to prove Lyft’s liability. If you’ve been victimized by a Lyft accident, this can make for added complications in pursuing the compensation you may be entitled to. As a result, you may want to contact Elstein Legal for a free case consultation.
A lawyer understands the legal system and will use the facts from the case to help you get the compensation you may be entitled to. You shouldn’t have to go through the legal system alone—especially with a Lyft accident case. A Lyft accident law firm in Delray Beach will ensure that you have someone on your side every step of the way.
Pursuing Damages After a Delray Beach Lyft Accident
Pursuing damages in a Delray Beach rideshare accident can be a bit difficult due to the independent contractor situation. Although you may save money in the short term by addressing an accident on your own, you could be selling yourself short in the long term.
A Delray Beach Lyft accident lawyer can help you:
- Review your damages to decipher how much compensation you may be entitled to.
- Investigate your case and identify all negligent parties eligible to provide compensation.
- Address the insurance company in question to negotiate a fair settlement.
Insurance and Lyft
Fortunately, every Lyft driver needs to have insurance in order to drive for the company. Sadly, the insurance company will have lawyers that will fight to ensure that they won’t have to pay more than the bare minimum. As a result, you may be tempted to take the first offer that comes your way. However, working with Elstein Legal can help you on a deeper level. For instance, you may be entitled to compensation for non-financial damages such as pain and suffering.
