Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Lyft accident cases in Palm Bay
What types of damages can I receive compensation for in a Lyft accident case?
In a Palm Bay Lyft accident case, you may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
The exact compensation depends on factors like injury severity, impact on your life, and available insurance coverage. Our experienced team will work to maximize your recovery across all possible damage categories.
How is liability determined in a Lyft accident?
Liability in Lyft accidents depends on the driver's status at the time of the accident. When the app is on and a passenger is being transported, Lyft provides $1 million in liability coverage. If the driver is en route to pick up a passenger, different coverage limits apply. If the app is off, the driver's personal insurance is primary.
Our team investigates all aspects of the accident, including road conditions, driver behavior, and the status of the Lyft app, to determine liability and identify all possible sources of compensation.
What should I do after a Lyft accident?
After a Lyft accident in Palm Bay, take these important steps:
- Seek immediate medical attention
- Report the accident through the Lyft app
- Take photos of the accident scene and vehicles
- Get contact information from witnesses
- Screenshot your Lyft ride information
- Contact our Palm Bay personal injury lawyers
Don't give recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with us. We'll help protect your rights and guide you through the process.
What is the statute of limitations for Lyft accidents in Florida?
In Florida, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit for a Lyft accident. This shortened timeline (changed from four years in March 2023) makes it crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
Don't wait until it's too late - our team can begin investigating your case immediately to preserve evidence and protect your right to compensation.
