What type of damages can I recover in an Lyft accident lawsuit in Alabama?

If you or a loved one has been involved in a Lyft accident in Alabama, there's important information you should know regarding your rights and potential recoverable damages. At the law office of Stephen Thompson, a leading personal injury lawyer in Alabama, we understand the complexities surrounding Lyft accidents and the related injury claims process. As a result of our accumulated experiences, we are well-positioned to represent victims of Lyft accidents.

Recovering damages after a Lyft accident is highly dependent on the specific circumstances surrounding your case. Following are some key factors you may be entitled to claim:

Medical Expenses

Accidents lead to unwelcome medical bills. If you've sustained injuries from a Lyft accident, you can recover expenses for hospital visits, surgeries, medical treatments, rehabilitation, medication and other related costs. Furthermore, if you're likely to require ongoing medical attention due to injuries, future medical expenses might also be recoverable.

Loss of Income

Another critical aspect of damages is loss of income. If injuries sustained in a Lyft accident render you unable to work for a certain period, it's possible to claim compensation for this loss. Just like with medical costs, if your injuries will likely impact your future ability to earn, damages for future loss of income can be pursued.

Pain and Suffering

In Alabama, victims of a Lyft accident may be entitled to recover damages for the physical pain and emotional anguish resulting from the accident. Pain and suffering damages are somewhat subjective and typically depend upon factors like the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and the potential for future pain and suffering. 

Property Damage

If the Lyft accident resulted in damage to your personal property, such as your vehicle, you could claim compensation for the cost of repair or replacement.

Wrongful Death

Nobody wants to consider this, but it's important to understand. If a loved one has lost their life in a Lyft accident, the surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death claim. This can cover funeral and burial expenses, loss of income, loss of companionship, and other damages.

Other Costs

Depending upon the nature of your case, you may be entitled to recover additional expenses such as caregiving costs, changes to living arrangements due to disabilities, and other related costs.
