California Lyft Accident Lawyer

Victims of Lyft accidents often suffer catastrophic injuries, such as spinal trauma, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, or permanent soft tissue damage. In addition to physical injuries, many clients also face lasting emotional trauma and serious financial setbacks. We represent clients across California who have been hurt in Lyft-related accidents, including:

• Passengers injured while riding in a Lyft
• Pedestrians or cyclists struck by a Lyft driver
• Drivers hit by a Lyft vehicle
• Passengers in another car injured in a crash involving a Lyft

Rideshare claims are pretty different from typical car accidents. Insurers for both Lyft and the driver may attempt to deny or minimize responsibility, which can leave you caught in the middle. To secure fair compensation, you need an advocate who knows how to hold rideshare companies accountable and who is not afraid to take your case to trial if necessary.

As your California Lyft accident lawyers, we will put our experience to work for you. We know how to build a strong claim and go up against big insurance companies. We prepare every case as though it’ll go to trial because we’re committed to your justice, and it’s this diligent preparation that has empowered us to secure success for numerous personal injury clients in the past.

Why Experience Matters In Lyft Accident Cases

Because Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors, rideshare accident cases often involve multiple layers of insurance policies. Determining whether Lyft’s $1 million liability policy applies, and at what stage of the ride, is not always straightforward. That’s why having experienced legal representation is essential.

At the Choulos & Tsoi Law Firm, we bring decades of courtroom experience, a proven record of handling complex transportation accidents, and an approach that puts your needs first, always. Here’s a quick intro to both of our lead attorneys:

• James V. Choulos: With more than 30 years of experience since earning his J.D. from Santa Clara University in 1990, James has successfully handled serious transportation and auto accident cases throughout California. Mentored by his father, a respected San Francisco trial lawyer, James has dedicated his career to protecting injury victims.
• Victor Tsoi: Since joining the firm in 2015 after earning his J.D. in 2011, Victor has built a reputation for his attention to detail and strong advocacy in cases involving serious injuries. His negotiation skills and commitment to clients have made him a trusted ally in complex accident claims.

Our seasoned attorneys have recovered millions for clients hurt in traffic-related accidents, including those involving pedestrians, cyclists, and negligent drivers. Some of our results include:

• $1,300,000: Settlement for a bicyclist dragged by a city bus, sustaining multiple fractures, pelvic injuries, and permanent complications.
• $335,000: Settlement for a pedestrian struck by a tourist driver, resulting in multiple facial fractures and reconstructive surgeries.
• $117,000: Settlement for a motorcyclist hit when a driver made an unsafe turn, causing fractured wrists.

These outcomes show both our ability to manage high-stakes injury cases and our dedication to helping clients rebuild their lives after devastating crashes. When Lyft’s insurance isn’t paying what you need after a crash, we’re here to help.
