Lyft is one of many rideshare services that allows Texas residents to travel without using their own cars or relying on public transportation. However, you could have sustained serious injuries in an accident involving Lyft. If that happens, you may have the right to seek compensation from the rideshare company, the driver, and anyone else who is responsible for the crash.
We can assign a Dallas Lyft accident lawyer from Domingo Garcia to manage your case for you. Their representation would give you more time to focus on putting your life back together while we take on the legal aspects of your case. You can learn more about how we can help you when you call us for a free initial consultation.
How We Help Clients After Lyft Accidents in Dallas
Suffering catastrophic injuries in a Lyft accident can turn your whole life upside-down. When you work with our Dallas rideshare accident lawyer, they will ensure that you avoid these mistakes:
- Giving a statement to the insurance company that could cause your case to be undervalued
- Not receiving prompt medical care and/or not following your doctor’s instructions
- Signing a settlement agreement without understanding your case’s value
Speaking to a lawyer from our firm before you take action against the at-fault party can help you understand the legal options you have. The team at Domingo Garcia can guide you through the legal process and help you avoid making any risky errors. Our law firm can answer any questions you have about your case. We can also work with you in Spanish if that is your preferred language.
We do much more than answer client questions. We can handle every legal task necessary for filing, fighting, and concluding your case, such as:
- Filing your case before the statute of limitations (usually, two years, as stated in Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003) runs out
- Collecting evidence from your medical records, the insurance company, witnesses, experts, and any other available sources
- Determining how much your injuries are worth and asking the right insurance company (whether that is Lyft’s or someone else’s) to pay what you need
- Reviewing any settlement offers the insurer makes and letting you know if we believe any given offer is fair
- Continuing to fight for compensation if the settlements offered are not satisfactory
- Handling all paperwork, including the settlement agreement
- Managing all communications, including responding to the insurers’ calls and emails, and speaking with a judge about your case
Need Help With Medical Bills?
When you suffer a catastrophic injury, you need treatment now. You cannot always afford to wait as your case works its way through the system. Liable parties like Lyft count on this: they may offer you a small but fast settlement in the hope that you will take it and save them money.
Fortunately, you have another option. Domingo Garcia might be able to help you get your medical bills covered through our own insurer until your case settles. This is just one more way we strive to make our clients’ lives easier.
Our Dallas Lawyers Take Lyft Accident Cases on a Contingency-Fee Basis
Sometimes, accident victims feel as though hiring a lawyer isn’t an option for them due to the high fees. The personal injury lawyers at Domingo Garcia understand your concern, and that’s why we offer our representation on a contingency-fee basis. Under this payment style, you will not pay us a dime out of pocket, up front, or by the hour—not even a fee for retaining our help.
Our firm finances your Uber accident case from start to finish, and we only ask for reimbursement if and when we recover compensation on your behalf. This way, you limit any financial risk and don’t have to wait several weeks for us to start working on your case.

Who Can You Seek Compensation from After a Dallas Lyft Accident?
After a Lyft accident in Dallas, we will help you seek compensation from the at-fault party. We can do this task by filing an insurance claim with the driver’s insurance company or Lyft’s insurer.
The insurer we file with will depend on whether the driver was working during the time of the wreck. If the Lyft driver was not logged in to the app, they are not actively working. This would mean we can file an insurance claim with the driver’s personal insurance company.
Despite the rideshare driver working as an independent contractor, Lyft will provide coverage when:
- The Lyft driver was logged in to the app and waiting for a ride.
- The Lyft driver was logged in to the app and had passengers in their car, or they are on the way to pick up passengers.
Our Dallas Lyft accident attorney will review relevant insurance policies and determine which insurance company we should file a claim with.

Dallas Lyft Accidents Can Do Serious Damage
Some Lyft accidents are so severe that they leave you with devastating injuries like:
- Traumatic head injuries (TBIs) when something hit your head or when you were violently shaken in the crash
- Spinal cord injuries from the impact of being hit by or thrown against a hard surface, like concrete
- Deep lacerations or severe infections (e.g., from gravel entering the wound) that cost you a limb
- Damage to the delicate workings of the eyes or ears (e.g., from flying glass) that permanently affect your sight or hearing
We represent clients no matter how serious their injuries are. In one case, our client suffered multiple injuries in an accident involving an Uber and a Lyft car, and we recovered over $1 million to cover their damages.
If the Lyft accident was fatal and your loved one lost their life, we can still help your family: our team could file a wrongful death case and fight for the compensation that your loved one and your entire family are eligible for.
