Lyft Accident Lawyer Serving Lake Worth

Lake Worth, Florida continues to grow from a sleepy South Florida town to one of the hottest destinations around. The local music scene, one of a kind restaurants and shops, and of course beautiful beaches, are attracting crowds. The downtown area of Lake Worth is particularly attractive, with its originality and accepting atmosphere.

The variety of destinations in Lake Worth is also drawing passengers to use ride sharing company Lyft to deliver them to the destination. Passengers simply access their Lyft app and request a ride. The app then finds an available driver and tells the passenger who is coming and what they are driving. The service essentially delivers a driver on demand to passengers as they explore Lake Worth. No cash exchanges hands, because fares are paid through the app with a credit card on file. Passengers like the ease of having a driver, eliminating the worry about finding parking or driving after having a couple alcoholic beverages in one of Lake Worth's bars, and drivers like the extra cash.

Although Lyft is smaller than its well-known rival Uber, it is gaining ground fast. The company now has over 100,000 drivers in 200 markets, and it recently announced that it is completing more than a million rides a week. Lyft and other ride sharing companies are most used by the 16 to 34-year-old crowd, although the culture of ride sharing is quickly advancing through all age groups. Visit Lake Worth and you will see all ages hopping into Lyft vehicles in Lake Worth, day or night, taking advantage of the opportunity to let someone else get behind the wheel and deal with the stresses of driving.

But having so many Lyft drivers on the roads of Lake Worth means there are also more accidents involving Lyft vehicles. The sheer number of vehicles, as well as the number of rides per day, increases the probability of a Lyft driver getting into some type of collision. Because of the nature of the business of Lyft, if a Lyft driver is involved in an automobile accident, it could impact a Lyft passenger. Lake Worth is also filled with pedestrians and bicyclists who may also fall victim to a crash involving a Lyft vehicle.

What do you do if you are the victim of an accident involving a Lyft vehicle in Lake Worth? You need an attorney. While it may be tempting to passively let the driver work with Lyft or his insurance company, that route could leave a victim without the compensation they deserve. Insurance provided by Lyft only kicks in under certain circumstances, and personal insurance may not cover a Lyft driver on duty. That means that the only way for a victim to protect himself is with proper legal representation.
