Lyft accidents are much more complex than a regular auto accident. A lot of factors can make investigating your accident, holding at-fault parties accountable, and recovering much-needed compensation difficult.

How Much Will My Lyft Accident Settlement Be?
Lyft accident settlements can vary widely because there are so many factors that can impact how much compensation you may be entitled to. Some of the factors we consider when calculating your possible compensation include:
- Your role in the accident, whether you were a Lyft driver, Lyft passenger, a motorist or passenger in another vehicle, or a pedestrian
- How many liable parties there are, as more liable parties means more sources of potential compensation
- Whether Lyft is liable
- The type and severity of your injuries
- Severity of property damage
- Total amount of economic damages

Possible Liable Parties in Your Lyft Accident
One thing that makes Lyft accidents so complex is that there could be many parties who are liable for the accident. Here are some potential at-fault parties in your Lyft accident:
- A Lyft driver
- Another motorist
- A municipality responsible for road conditions
- A car parts manufacturer
- Another negligent third party
The other element that complicates liability in Lyft accidents — and determines whether you qualify for a claim through Lyft’s insurance policy — is the Lyft driver’s status at the time of the accident. These are some of the potential sources of compensation you may be able to file a claim with:
Lyft Driver’s Personal Auto Insurance
In general, you would file a claim with the Lyft driver’s personal auto insurance if they happen to be a Lyft driver but were not actively using the app at the time of the accident. In some cases, Lyft requires accident victims to also file a claim with the driver’s personal auto insurance, too.
Lyft’s Auto Insurance Coverage
Lyft also has insurance for accidents that occur while the Lyft app is open. Generally, this insurance only applies if the Lyft driver is:
- Waiting for a ride request
- On their way to get a passenger
- In the middle of a trip with a passenger
The driver’s stage of using the app, as listed above, can affect how much the policy is worth. For instance, active rides carry a $1 million policy limit.
Another Motorist’s Auto Insurance
If another motorist causes your Lyft accident, you can file a claim with that driver’s auto insurance policy. However, if they are uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to file a claim through Lyft’s insurance policy.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit for My Conyers Lyft Accident?
Generally, you have just two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit against all liable parties. This statute — O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 — also applies to Lyft accidents.
There are some exceptions to this time frame. A Lawrenceville Lyft accident lawyer can help you understand how the statute of limitations applies to your case.
