Injured in a Collision? Discuss Your Legal Rights with a Florida Lyft Accident Lawyer

If you’ve been injured in a Lyft accident, you have clear legal rights. You are entitled to find out who (or what company) is responsible for your injuries, and you are entitled to seek the financial compensation you deserve. However, protecting your legal rights is not easy, making it crucial to have an experienced Florida Lyft accident lawyer on your side.

At Searcy Denney, we represent all victims of Uber accidents in Florida. This includes:

For all victims, the costs of being injured in a Lyft accident can add up very quickly. From medical bills and lost wages to emotional trauma and loss of enjoyment of life, you may be facing a variety of losses that a Lyft accident lawyer at our firm can fight to recover on your behalf.

We Handle All Types of Lyft Accidents

We handle all types of rideshare accidents—including Lyft accidents—for victims across Florida. If you have been injured in a Lyft accident, determining the cause (or causes) of the accident will be a critical first step toward seeking the financial compensation you deserve.

Similar to other types of car accidents, most Lyft accidents are the result of driver negligence—either negligence on the part of the Lyft driver or negligence on the part of another driver involved in the collision. Common forms of driver negligence include:

• Distracted by the Lyft app
• Distracted by GPS directions
• Distracted by texting or social media
• Distracted by passengers
• Impaired by alcohol
• Impaired by marijuana or another drug
• Speeding
• Tailgating
• Running red lights and stop signs
• Failing to yield
• Turning or merging dangerously
• Weaving through traffic
• Road rage
• Driving while fatigued
• Falling asleep behind the wheel

However, when dealing with the aftermath of a Lyft accident in Florida, it is also important to consider other possibilities. Brake failures, dangerous road construction zones and a variety of other non-driver-related issues can also lead to accidents—and, if one of these issues played a role in your accident, this will play a major role in determining what claim (or claims) a Florida Lyft accident lawyer at our firm can file on your behalf.

We Help Our Clients Seek Maximum Compensation for Their Losses

If you’ve been injured in a Lyft accident in Florida, do you need to hire a lawyer? Or, can you file a claim on your own?
While you can file a claim on your own, this doesn’t mean that you should. Trying to handle your situation on your own after a serious Lyft accident can prove to be very costly. Practically speaking, if you want to seek the full compensation you deserve, you will need an experienced Lyft accident lawyer on your side. Here’s why:

Your Lawyer Will Collect the Evidence Needed to Prove Liability

Should you file a claim under the at-fault driver’s auto insurance policy? Should you file a claim against Lyft? Should you file a claim against another company that is legally responsible for your injuries? These are not easy questions to answer, but you must answer all of them correctly in order to seek the financial compensation you deserve.

When you hire a Florida Lyft accident lawyer to represent you, your lawyer will collect the evidence needed to prove liability. This will allow your lawyer to determine which claim (or claims) he or she can file on your behalf.

Your Lawyer Will Collect the Evidence Needed to Prove Your Losses

Along with proving who (or what company) is responsible for your losses, you need to be able to prove your losses as well. This requires various forms of documentation. Crucially, not only do you need documentation of your losses to date, but you also need documentation of the losses you will incur in the future. Your lawyer can make sure you have all of the documentation you need to seek full compensation for your medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other financial and non-financial losses.

Your Lawyer Will Protect Your Ability to Seek Full Compensation

While recovering proper compensation will most likely involve dealing with insurance companies, you need to ensure that you protect your ability to seek full compensation. If you don’t take the necessary steps to protect your legal rights (which might involve filing a lawsuit in court), the insurance companies might be justified in denying your claim even if you have losses that you deserve to recover.

Your Lawyer Will Fight to Secure Full Compensation on Your Behalf

As mentioned earlier, the costs of a Lyft accident can quickly add up. They can also continue adding up for a very long time. It is critical to make sure you are seeking the full compensation you deserve for your present and future losses, and this requires the advice and representation of an experienced lawyer who knows how to assert your legal rights effectively.

Your Lawyer Will Help You Avoid Costly Mistakes Along the Way

If you are entitled to financial compensation for a Lyft accident in Florida, not only are there many important steps you need to take, but there are also many costly mistakes you need to avoid. An experienced accident lawyer at Searcy Denney can explain what not to do while your case is pending, and your lawyer can deal with the insurance companies for you so that you don’t unknowingly make mistakes that could jeopardize your recovery.
