What does a Cincinnati Lyft accident lawyer do?

A Cincinnati Lyft accident lawyer identifies all available insurance sources -- Lyft's commercial policy, the driver's personal policy, and your own underinsured motorist coverage -- and pursues maximum compensation for your injuries. Rideshare accident claims are more complex than standard car accident claims because multiple insurance policies may apply depending on the driver's status in the app at the time of the crash. Wolterman Law Office handles Lyft accident claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cincinnati Lyft Accident Claims

What insurance covers a Lyft accident in Ohio?

Lyft provides up to $1 million in liability coverage when a driver is actively transporting a passenger or on the way to pick one up. When the app is on but no ride is accepted, Lyft provides $50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident. When the app is off, only the driver's personal auto insurance applies.

Can I sue Lyft directly after an accident in Ohio?

Lyft classifies its drivers as independent contractors, which limits direct liability. However, you can file a claim against Lyft's commercial insurance policy, and in some cases Lyft itself may be liable. An Ohio rideshare accident attorney can identify all available insurance sources and liable parties.

What is the statute of limitations for a Lyft accident claim in Ohio?

Under Ohio Revised Code 2305.10, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim, even if you have strong evidence of liability.

Who can file a claim after a Lyft accident in Cincinnati?

Lyft passengers, other drivers hit by a Lyft vehicle, pedestrians, and cyclists can all file claims. The available insurance coverage depends on the driver's status in the app at the time of the accident.
