Your Attorney Will Identify and Seek Fair Compensation for Damages from Your Lyft Accident

Anyone injured in a traffic accident suffers harm. We want to know exactly what types of economic and non-economic harm you have suffered. 

As we investigate your recoverable damages, we may find that you deserve compensation for:

Medical Bills

Those injured in Lyft accidents often need:

• Ambulance transport from the accident scene
• Emergency medical treatment
• Diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and CT scans
• Surgery
• Hospitalization
• Rehabilitation 

Your Erie Lyft accident attorney from Berger and Green will speak with you about the toll your injuries have had on your life. We will also secure all relevant medical records and determine the exact financial cost of your accident-related care.

Lost Income

Rideshare accident victims often face a sudden, costly pause in their professional lives. Even a short interruption in your work could cause:

• Lost income
• Missed opportunities for performance bonuses
• Lost chances for promotion

Longer absences may cause you to lose employer-provided benefits. We have even seen automobile accident victims who are permanently disabled and never able to work again.

Pain and Suffering

Accident victims have a wide range of potential responses to the collision (and to being injured), which can include:

• Acute and chronic physical pain
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety, which may include generalized anxiety or an acute fear of being in or near motor vehicles
• Depression 
• Sleep problems, which may include insomnia or nightmares involving the accident

Berger and Green will connect you with professionals who can provide the necessary mental health services. This will ensure you receive the treatment you need while also documenting your pain and suffering.

Property Damage

If your vehicle or other property became damaged during the Lyft accident, your Erie injury attorney will account for the cost of repairing or replacing the property. 

Our Legal Team Will Prove Fault and Fight for Your Financial Recovery

Despite the unfortunate circumstances you face, Berger and Green intends to provide the financial outcome you deserve. We will handle every detail of your case, likely including:

Proving Fault and Negligence for the Lyft Accident in Erie

We need to prove who caused your accident and all resulting damages, so we will pursue:

• Relevant witness testimony
• Expert testimony
• Video showing the collision (or related events)
• Any other evidence that helps prove why the accident happened

By knowing who caused the accident, we can determine who is financially responsible for your economic and non-economic damages. 

Documenting Your Recoverable Damages

Your Erie Lyft collision attorney will seek proof of each of your damages. We often rely on medical records, the testimony of mental health professionals, invoices for vehicle repairs, and any other evidence types that speak to your damages.

Negotiating for a Settlement with the Insurance Adjuster

Berger and Green’s attorneys are well-prepared to negotiate your settlement because:

• We have decades of experience negotiating with insurance companies.
• We do not back down from bad-faith tactics, like denying your claim or undervaluing your losses.
• We are always ready for court, so we negotiate from a position of strength.

Let us fight for the money you deserve, so you can focus on recovering. If liable parties (possibly including Lyft’s insurance provider) do not offer a fair settlement, we’ll discuss going to court.

Know that 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2) generally requires our lawyers to file Lyft accident cases in Erie within a specific time. We ask that you speak with our team as soon as possible, as we must act before the statute of limitations deadline.
