Lake Worth Lyft Accident Lawyers

Lyft Accident Injury Attorneys in Lake Worth, FL Work to Get Financial Compensation for Injured Victims in Palm Beach County and Throughout Florida

If you’ve ever been involved in an auto accident, you know that it can be a destabilizing experience. Even if you weren’t seriously injured, you no doubt experienced a burst of adrenaline in the immediate aftermath of the wreck and left the scene a little shaken. And if you were seriously injured and your car was totaled, it was probably that much more difficult to recover from the experience. But these days, with the fast-rising popularity of ride-sharing services like Lyft, there’s a decent chance that any given car wreck will involve a Lyft driver. Most Florida residents—not to mention visiting tourists—probably haven’t given much thought to the potential implications of being involved in a crash involving a Lyft driver. And perhaps it’s best not to burden your mind with such thoughts. On the other hand, if you have the misfortune of being injured in a Lyft accident, you definitely want to call Lake Worth Lyft Accident Lawyers to advise you of your legal rights and help you to recover financial compensation. The rules and regulations that govern ridesharing in Florida have evolved considerably in recent years and it’s a relatively complex area of law, given the number of defendants that are typically named in Lyft accident cases.

Yet another reason to contact and retain a Lake Worth, FL Lyft crash attorney is that he or she can help remove much of the stress from the recovery process, speaking to insurance adjusters on your behalf and acting as a liaison with your medical providers, to name but two examples.

Steps to Take After a Lyft Accident

As part of our free initial consultation, we review the facts of your case, advise you of your legal rights, and analyze all of the potential paths to receiving financial compensation for your injuries. In addition to being a compassionate ear, we can also remove some of the stress that comes with the aftermath of a wreck and advise you of the steps you should take to protect yourself in the wake of a Lyft accident. Typically these steps include all of the following:

• Call emergency responders and make sure anyone seriously injured receives on-scene medical attention.
• Notify the police, and make sure a police report is created.
• Exchange personal information (including insurance information) with all parties involved in the wreck.
• Take photos of the accident scene, as well as the damage to all involved vehicles.
• Take photos of any visible injuries you may have suffered (including close-up photos).
• Obtain the name, address, and phone number of anyone who witnessed the accident.
• And if you were a passenger of a Lyft driver, we recommend that you preserve proof that you took the ride (by taking a screenshot, for example).

Then if you haven’t yet received medical attention, make sure you go to the hospital or to a doctor to get checked. Keep in mind that the aforementioned burst of adrenaline may initially help to mask pain, and serious injuries often reveal themselves hours or even days later. Don’t attempt to “tough it out;”’ when in doubt, get examined by a physician. If you don’t have one, we can recommend a doctor near you. If you don’t receive medical attention within a reasonable time frame, it may compromise your ability to collect fair financial compensation down the road.
