Orange County Lyft Accident Attorney

Ride-share accidents are far more common than people realize. Each year, hundreds of people are involved in accidents involving Lyft. If you are injured as a result of a no-fault accident involving a Lyft driver, you should seek out an Orange County Lyft accident attorney who is familiar in these types of accidents.

Lyft, which was founded in 2012 in San Francisco, is one of the most successful ride-sharing companies in the U.S. It offers ridesharing opportunities for individuals needing rides from on destination to another.

Suffering Injuries from a Lyft Accident

If you suffer injuries from a Lyft accident in Orange County, you may be able to claim for medical reimbursement or pain and suffering, and possibly sue for damages. A Lyft personal injuries attorney will invite you in at no cost to go over your claim and help you recover proper compensation for your injuries and work loses.

Lyft Insurance Requirements

People who drive for Lyft must meet certain certain requirements to qualify as a driver: they must be 21 years of age; pass a background check for felonies; covered by full-coverage insurance and not have any driver-related incidents in the last 5 years. Additionally, their vehicle must pass a 19-point inspection that meets state requirements.

Lyft Accidents

While most people who have used Lyft regard them as a safe mode of transportation, accidents do happen. Some of the most common reasons why Lyft accidents occur is due to reckless or careless driving. In some cases, the Lyft driver may be looking at their phone or some other Lyft vehicle system that causes a distraction. If this happens, a Lyft personal injuries attorney should be notified as soon as possible.

Lyft Negligence

There are also cases when pedestrians have been injured or killed by Lyft drivers. This often takes place when the car goes through a crosswalk without slowing down or stopping. If you are a pedestrian who has been injured by a Lyft driver, you may be eligible for compensation. An Orange County Lyft accident attorney should be notified as quickly as possible to go over your case.

There is often debate over who is responsible if a Lyft driver is involved in a driving accident. The core issue is the fact that Lyft drivers are independent contractors as opposed to regular employees. Depending on the state, there are certain laws regarding ride-sharing and whether or not insurance companies are liable.

Despite the ambiguity regarding liability, Lyft has been successfully sued for damages regarding fatal accidents. In 2014, Lyft was sued after a passenger suffered injuries from a Lyft accident in Orange County and died.

Regardless of the circumstances, Lyft drivers are expected to obey traffic laws and perform in manner that provides safety to passengers. If you are injured in an accident involving a Lyft driver, an attorney can help you receive compensation for injuries, lost wages, medical expenses and pain and suffering.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
