New Orleans Lyft Accident Lawyer
Lyft Accident Attorneys
A Lyft ride is supposed to make transportation easier—not leave you dealing with injuries, medical bills, and insurance headaches. But when a Lyft driver or another motorist causes a crash, victims often find themselves stuck in a confusing claims process. At The Chopin Law Firm, we help injury victims understand their rights and fight for fair compensation after rideshare accidents.
If you were hurt while riding in a Lyft, driving your own vehicle, or walking as a pedestrian, a New Orleans Lyft accident lawyer can guide you through every step of the legal process.
Why Lyft Accident Claims Are So Complex
Lyft accidents involve multiple parties and overlapping insurance policies. Because Lyft drivers use their personal vehicles, questions about liability and coverage often arise.
A skilled Lyft accident attorney in New Orleans can help you understand:
How Lyft’s insurance works
- App Off / Not Working: Only the driver’s personal policy applies.
- App On / Waiting for a Ride: Lyft provides limited liability coverage.
- En Route or Transporting a Passenger: Lyft offers up to $1 million in liability coverage.
Determining which insurance applies is one of the most important—and most confusing—parts of the claims process.
Common Causes of Lyft Accidents
- App-related distractions
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Fatigue from long shift hours
- Failure to yield or improper turns
- Negligent drivers in other vehicles
Even when a warning appears in the app or a driver claims they’re not at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation.
Who Can File a Lyft Accident Claim?
You may have a valid Lyft accident claim if you were:
- A Lyft passenger
- Another motorist hit by a Lyft driver
- A pedestrian or bicyclist struck by a Lyft vehicle
- A Lyft driver injured by someone else’s negligence
If you’re unsure whether you have a case, our team will evaluate your claim for free.
What Compensation Am I Entitled To?
A New Orleans Lyft accident lawyer can help you pursue damages for:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Long-term disability or scarring
We know the tactics rideshare insurers use—and we know how to fight back to protect your rights.
What to Do After a Lyft Accident
- Call 911 and report the accident.
- Seek medical care immediately.
- Document the scene, including photos of vehicles and injuries.
- Collect driver and witness information.
- Report the incident through the Lyft app.
- Avoid giving statements to insurance companies before speaking with a lawyer.
- Reach out to a New Orleans Lyft accident lawyer as soon as possible.
