How We Help You with Your Lyft Accident Claim
Shook & Stone has years of experience handling some of the most devastating and frustrating accidents, including those involving inexperienced and dangerous rideshare drivers. After an accident, seek medical care and document what occurred. Then call us. We will handle the rest of the process for you:
- We talk to the insurance company. This is important. Rideshare companies like Lyft want you to settle fast for as little as possible. They may even trick you into thinking you do not have a case.
- Your attorney investigates to determine fault. Count on us to determine all parties at fault. That may include the rideshare company, other drivers, and third parties. This expands access to compensation.
- Expect us to maximize your claim. We seek all potential compensation owed to you for physical, emotional, and financial losses you sustain.
The sooner you contact us, the faster we can preserve evidence, build your claim, and restore your peace of mind. Shook & Stone has recovered over $1 billion in compensation for our clients through verdicts and settlements. Expect us to advocate for the best possible outcome for you.

When Lyft Is Responsible for Your Injuries
Rideshare companies like Lyft do not hire employees to provide services to you but instead use independent contractors. That limits their liability. However, if we can demonstrate the company is responsible for your injuries, you can seek a liability claim against their $1 million coverage. Some examples of when Lyft is responsible include:
- A Lyft driver providing an app-logged ride to you causes an accident where you suffer injuries as the passenger.
- A Lyft driver fails to stop when picking you up and strikes you.
- A pedestrian or bicyclist suffers injuries when a Lyft driver providing a service strikes them because they failed to yield the right of way.
- You are in an accident as a Lyft passenger when an uninsured driver strikes the vehicle, causing injuries.
- You are a passenger in another car struck by a Lyft driver while they are providing a service.
Other situations may also hold Lyft drivers responsible, even if Lyft itself is not responsible. Expect our attorney to identify fault and losses in your case after a comprehensive investigation. We do not let you settle for less than your losses.
Avoid Making Statements to the Rideshare Company Without Legal Representation
Lyft wants you to check a box on their app and settle your claim fast. Avoid doing so. If they contact you about your claim, provide the basic information without admitting any fault. Then, refer them to us. We are solely working for your best possible outcome. The insurance company for Lyft is not.
You Deserve Maximum Compensation After an Accident
Your recoverable damages in a Lyft accident are dependent on numerous factors, including the severity of your injuries. While you focus on recovery and following your doctor’s directions for healing, we will work on building your claim. Most often, victims with serious injuries can seek damages such as:
- Medical expenses: Emergency care, hospitalization, treatments, surgery, and rehabilitation
- Future medical and health-related costs: Support for in-home care, modifications to your home, or ongoing medical specialist needs with serious and disabling injuries
- Loss of earnings: Losses related to time missed at work, lost opportunities for bonuses and promotions, and reduction in earning capacity if you can no longer do your job
- Pain and suffering: For the pain and suffering you have at the time of the accident and continue to face on a daily basis
- Loss of quality of life: Changes to your ability to live life as you want, including limitations due to physical injury, emotional well-being, and disability
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish: The onset of mental health complications such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression
Victims may not yet know what their losses are. Our experience enables our legal team to build a strong claim for you, one that includes all losses you are facing and will likely face. Expect us to fight for fair compensation for you without charging you anything upfront. Our Henderson personal injury lawyers only get paid for our services when you win your case.
File a Claim Within the Statute of Limitations
Do not delay in getting medical care or contacting an attorney. The Nevada statute of limitations (NRS Chapter 11) for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the incident. If you wait beyond this time, the insurance company will no longer be obligated to pay for your losses.
The court will not hear your case. While there are some exceptions to this rule, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible.
