Being injured in a Lyft accident raises questions that a standard car accident does not — which insurance policy applies, what Lyft’s liability is, and how to navigate a claim against a company with experienced legal teams. Jeremy Pineres Law represents passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers injured in Lyft accidents throughout Fulton and DeKalb counties and knows how to pursue compensation through the right channels.
The firm handles rideshare accident cases on a contingency fee basis — no upfront cost, and no fee unless compensation is recovered.
How Lyft Accident Claims Work
Lyft maintains commercial insurance coverage for drivers, but the coverage that applies depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. Whether the driver had the app on, had accepted a ride, or was actively transporting a passenger affects which policy responds to the claim. Jeremy Pineres Law evaluates the specific circumstances of each accident to determine what coverage is available and how to maximize the recovery.
Who Can File a Lyft Accident Claim
Lyft accident victims include passengers riding in the Lyft vehicle, pedestrians or cyclists struck by a Lyft driver, and drivers of other vehicles hit by a Lyft driver. Each scenario involves different liability considerations. Jeremy Pineres Law represents all categories of Lyft accident victims and works to identify all available compensation sources, including the at-fault driver’s personal insurance and Lyft’s commercial coverage.

Injuries and Compensation
Lyft accidents can result in serious injuries including whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and spinal cord damage. Victims may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. Jeremy Pineres Law evaluates the full scope of the injury before negotiating with Lyft’s insurers.
