What if I Was Driven Off Road by Lyft?*

Damages That Might Result from Being Driven Off the Road

You can suffer serious injuries and damages after being run off the road by a ride-sharing vehicle. You should always stay on the scene of the accident and call the police. An accident report must be completed. If the driver left the scene, try to remember as many details as possible, such as make and model of car, direction of travel, and a partial tag number.

If you are able to do so, get photos of the accident scene and the damages. Ask any witnesses to provide statements and include their names and contact details. Corroborating witness statements can significantly help your personal injury claim against a ride-sharing service and confirm that their vehicle was to blame for the accident. You should establish medical care right away.

Documentation to Support Your Claim

You will need to maintain documentation to support your personal injury claim. You should get a copy of the accident report, copies of witness statements, copies of medical bills, prescription receipts, and documentation showing missed work and lost wages. The more documentation you maintain, the more likely you are to have a successful personal injury claim.

Consult with a Personal Injury Attorney after an Accident

If a ride-sharing service vehicle ran you off the road and caused a crash, consult with a personal injury attorney who is licensed to practice in your state. Complete the Free Case Evaluation Form on this page, so your details can be sent to an accident injury lawyer for complete review. Without a personal injury lawyer representing you, your claim might be denied. Remember, every state has a strict timeframe limiting how long you have for pursuing a personal injury claim against another party after an accident. If you wait too long, your claim will be denied.
