The use of rideshare programs such as Lyft has grown quickly in the past years. The intent of Lyft is to provide safe and reliable transportation to its clients, but what if something goes wrong? You will need skilled and experienced attorneys on your side to help you successfully work with the insurance companies to compensate you for your damages.
The laws and policies surrounding rideshares are constantly being updated and changing. The claims process is more complicated in these types of accidents than if you were operating your own vehicle. When you’re in a complex accident, reach out to a San Diego Lyft accident lawyer. Your attorney at Conger Law Injury Attorneys is ready to represent you.

Lyft drivers have the same chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident as any other driver on the road. Accidents happen, and determining the at-fault party when a Lyft driver is involved can be tricky. Luckily, you may have grounds for compensation.

What to Do After a San Diego Lyft Accident
After suffering from any injury, the most important first step is to seek emergency medical treatment if needed. If your injuries aren’t severe enough to need an ambulance or immediate emergency room care, follow up with your physician, chiropractor, or another medical professional as soon as you are able to.
If you’re able to stay at the scene, contact law enforcement. They will document the facts of your accident and will be able to provide an accident report that your lawyer can use as evidence in your case. Take pictures if able, and get the names and contact information of all parties involved as well as any witnesses.
Keep receipts and clear and concise records of all appointments, new medications, time lost from work, and any personal or home care expenses that are new due to your injuries. Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer who will evaluate these new expenses and any pain and suffering to give you a better idea of the process and what you can expect in damages.
