Do you Have a case? Call Today! 415-404-6395
Burlingame is a great place to live and work. Right in the center of the Bay Area, there are so many places to visit that you will always be content. One thing you may not like is getting out in the traffic. Considering its proximity to so many crowded places, sometimes you may just want someone else to do the driving for you. Thankfully, you can call a Lyft driver. Let them handle the traffic for you.
But what happens when your Lyft driver gets into an accident?
If you’ve had a ridesharing accident, you may need a Lyft accident attorney in Burlingame. Let the experienced attorneys at Allegiance Law guide you through what can be a difficult process.
We get it, the name of the game is convenience. Sometimes it is just easier to press a button and let your ride show up. If you need a designated driver for you and your friends after a night out, you want to be safe. If you need a quick ride to the grocery store and back, Lyft will help. You expect your Lyft driver to be professional and you rely on them to get you to your destination safely.
But if your Lyft driver is reckless and gets into an accident, do you know what to do next?
There are over 350,000 Lyft drivers in the US. Many of them are right here in the Bay Area, the birthplace of the ridesharing movement. That’s a lot of drivers on the road using their own vehicles to transport people around.
Think about all the regulations that go into traditional transportation services. Taxis and buses all have strict codes and driver requirements.
Lyft drivers?
None of the regulations that you’ve come to expect. Just about anyone with a fairly clean driving record can become a Lyft driver. There have been numerous reports of ridesharing drivers operating their vehicles while they were impaired or distracted by their phones. This can put you and others in serious danger.
If you are in your own vehicle and are hit by a Lyft driver, we want you to know that you should contact an attorney rather than try to handle the incident yourself.
Getting into a car accident is scary. It can be traumatic, both physically and emotionally. If you’ve been in a Lyft vehicle accident as a passenger, in another vehicle, or a nearby third party, Allegiance Law will help you find the answers you need. We also want you to be aware that Lyft covers each driver with a $1 million liability policy. If you are due any of that because of injuries, we want you to be compensated fairly.
