Steps a Baton Rouge Lyft Accident Lawyer Will Take to Win Your Case

When you hire our personal injury lawyers in Baton Rouge, we’ll give your case the time and attention to detail it needs to be successful.

Whether you’re dealing with catastrophic injuries, serious vehicle damage, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or all of the above, you can count on us to take effective action and get real results. Here’s what our dedicated team of Lyft accident lawyers in Baton Rouge can do to win your case:

  • Conduct a thorough investigation of your rideshare accident
  • Collect police reports, footage, witness statements, medical records, and other forms of evidence to build a strong claim
  • Communicate with insurers and negotiate a settlement that covers your losses
  • Take your case to court if necessary
  • Provide legal guidance and counsel throughout your case

We’ll Determine Which Insurance Company to File a Claim With

After a rideshare accident, there can be confusion about which insurance company will cover your damages. Unlike conventional cab companies, Lyft’s insurance doesn’t cover its drivers twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are only specific times that Lyft’s insurance, including liability coverage, is in effect. These instances include the following:

  • When the driver is on the way to pick up a passenger
  • When the driver is waiting for a passenger, referred to as “driver mode”
  • When the driver is actively transporting a Lyft passenger

If Lyft’s insurance doesn’t cover your damages, you may be able to seek compensation from the driver’s personal policy. Our Baton Rouge Lyft accident attorneys can determine which insurance company should cover your damages and work hard to get the highest settlement possible.

If the Lyft driver’s personal insurance doesn’t cover all your losses, we can help you explore other potential avenues to receive compensation. For example, if you have a personal injury protection (PIP) policy or another type of insurance, we may be able to seek compensation from your own insurer.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.
