As an increasingly popular mode of transportation, Lyft provides a convenient option for many residents throughout the state of Alabama. However, when a traffic accident happens involving a Lyft driver, things can get markedly complicated. Understanding the complexity around Lyft insurance coverage is essential, particularly if you've been in a Lyft accident in Alabama. Recognizing the need for trusted guidance and expertise, attorney Stephen Thompson offers his knowledge on this important issue.
Lyft, like other rideshare services, is keenly aware of their liability potential and hence, they've created insurance coverages that kick into action in the event of an accident. Under the company's policy, insurance coverage varies based on different phases known as periods. There are three periods:
It’s important to note that Lyft’s one million dollar liability policy only applies if the Lyft driver is “at-fault.” If another driver is at fault, then that driver’s insurance should pay for damages.
In Alabama, the same principles apply, but with a few specifics. Alabama is an "at-fault" state, meaning that the party found to be responsible for the accident will be liable for damages. However, in some situations, Alabama's contributory negligence rule could apply, which can affect the claimant's ability to recover damages. This means that if the claimant is found even slightly at fault in the accident, they may be barred from recovering any damages.
If you are a passenger in a Lyft in Alabama, and involved in an accident where your Lyft driver was at fault, Lyft’s $1 million policy will cover your claims. If another driver caused the accident, the other driver's insurance should cover your claims. In the event that the at-fault driver does not have adequate insurance, Lyft’s Uninsured/Underinsured motorist policy may cover your damages up to $1 million.
Given the complexity of such cases, it is essential to seek the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer such as Stephen Thompson to understand and navigate Lyft insurance coverage and personal injury laws in Alabama.
