Baltimore Lyft Accidents Lawyer

Injured in a Lyft Accident in Maryland?
We’re Ready to Fight for You

Lyft accidents lawyer guidance starts with understanding what happened and what steps to take next. If you were hurt in a Lyft-related crash in Maryland—whether you were a passenger, driver, pedestrian, or cyclist—you may have options for seeking compensation, but the process is often more complex than a typical car accident claim. Because Lyft crashes can involve multiple insurance policies and different “app status” coverage rules, it helps to get clear answers early. We help clients across Maryland document the incident, preserve evidence, and evaluate which parties and policies may apply—so you can make informed decisions about your next steps.

What Makes Lyft Accident Cases So Complex?

Lyft accidents are not like typical car crashes. That’s because multiple insurance policies may be involved, and Lyft’s coverage only applies under certain circumstances. The key issue is whether the driver was logged into the app—and whether they had accepted a ride or were actively transporting a passenger at the time of the crash.

Here’s how it breaks down:

Driver not logged into the app: Only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies.
Driver logged in, waiting for a ride request: Lyft provides limited third-party liability coverage.
Driver en route to a passenger or mid-ride: Lyft offers up to $1 million in liability coverage, plus coverage for uninsured or underinsured motorists.

Sorting out which policy applies—and who’s liable—can be difficult without legal experience. That’s where we come in.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lyft Accidents

Does it matter if my Lyft app was on during the crash?

Yes. Your app status (off, waiting, en route, or on a trip) can affect which insurance coverage may apply.

Should I report the crash in the Lyft or delivery app?

Generally, reporting promptly helps create a record. Save screenshots and note the time, location, and trip details.

Can more than one insurance policy apply to a Lyft crash?

Often, yes. Depending on the situation, personal auto insurance, the platform’s coverage, and another driver’s policy may all be involved.

What evidence is most helpful after a Lyft accident?

Photos, witness contact info, a police report number, medical visit notes, and app screenshots showing your status and trip details.

What should I avoid saying to an insurance adjuster?

Avoid guessing about fault or injuries. Stick to basic facts and consider getting advice before providing a recorded statement.

When should I speak with a Maryland Lyft accident lawyer?

If coverage is unclear, injuries affect work, or insurers dispute responsibility, a consult can help you understand options and next steps.
