ToggleAt the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Beaumont Lyft accident and injury attorneys know that rideshare drivers are just as likely to be involved in a crash as other Texas drivers. However, in a Lyft accident, the ridesharing company’s involvement adds another layer of complexity to the legal and insurance aspects compared to a regular car accident involving private individuals.
Our Jefferson County attorneys deeply understand the complex legal issues and regulations surrounding Lyft accidents, including insurance coverage and liability.
Here is what Lyft accident and injury victims need to know.
Lyft provides insurance coverage for its drivers and passengers, but it varies depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. The insurance coverage typically includes liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and contingent comprehensive and collision coverage. Understanding which insurance policy applies and how much coverage is available can be more complex in a Lyft accident compared to a regular car accident.
The status of the Lyft driver at the time of the accident is crucial. If the driver were offline or not logged into the Lyft app at the time of the accident, their personal auto insurance policy would apply. Lyft provides limited liability coverage if the driver is available but has not yet accepted a ride request. If the driver was en route to pick up a passenger or had a passenger in the vehicle, Lyft’s commercial insurance coverage applies up to $1 million.
Our Beaumont Lyft accident and injury lawyers can help you establish the time of the crash and which insurance coverage can be pursued for your compensation needs.
Lyft’s insurance coverage can be complicated, especially when determining which insurance policy applies and how much coverage is available.

We will thoroughly investigate the accident to determine who was at fault, hold the responsible parties accountable, and advocate on your behalf to pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
