Why Work With a Lyft Accident Lawyer?
The rideshare companies advertise their $1 million third-party liability insurance guarantees. But when an accident occurs, you may not know what you qualify to receive or how to claim it. Our Philadelphia Lyft accident lawyers have a track record of success. We’ve helped people just like you.
Here are some of the reasons to work with Gibbons Legal Personal Injury and Accident Lawyers following your rideshare accident:
- Pennsylvania accident compensation laws are complex. Pennsylvania uses a hybrid no-fault insurance and third-party liability system, and Lyft insurance policies and guarantees may provide additional resources. It’s good that there are many possibilities to claim compensation, and a lawyer can help you identify and pursue your options.
- Fault may be complicated. It may be necessary to detail the events of the accident and show who has legal fault. Determining fault may be especially complex when a Lyft driver is involved. Our lawyers understand legal fault and the proof necessary to make your case.
- We know what you should receive in compensation. It may seem great if the rideshare company offers you a fast settlement. However, the settlement may understate your damages that you are due under the law. Our lawyers ensure that you don’t settle for less than you deserve while keeping efficiency in mind.
- We’re experienced, lawyers. Ultimately, we’re trial lawyers. Success in your case may depend on legal procedure or a detailed legal issue. Our team has the technical training and experience that can make the difference in your case.

Lyft Accident Settlement Amounts
Lyft accident settlement amounts depend on the circumstances of the crash, including:
- Who was at fault for the crash? If you were a Lyft passenger or a passenger in another vehicle, it is unlikely that you would share any fault for the crash. Fault determines where you may seek compensation and what insurance policies to pursue.
- Was the Lyft driver actively involved in a ride at the time of the crash? The status of the driver – whether the app is off, on and ready to accept a ride or the driver is actively giving a ride – can make a difference in the amount of insurance provided by the rideshare company.
- Are my injuries serious? You may qualify to claim compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Your own PIP (personal injury protection) insurance may provide coverage, but a third-party claim may pay non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Our lawyers can investigate the total amount of compensation that you deserve.
Getting justice in your case means understanding the amount that is appropriate under the law. We are experienced Philadelphia personal injury lawyers. We understand how to value claims and the legal steps involved in pursuing a claim.
We are full-service lawyers, and we are trial lawyers. Our law firm founder and lead trial attorney, Tom Gibbons, will look at all the important factors, give you honest advice and pursue your case in full.
