It depends on the circumstances of your accident, the severity of your injuries, who has a legal liability to you, and what financial resources the people or entities with liability have available to pay you with.
There is no guarantee, in fact, that a Lyft crash victim will receive any compensation, although with the right legal help chances are usually good that some compensation will be available.
As a general matter, victims of Philadelphia Lyft accidents often have legal rights to receive compensation for:
- Their medical expenses related to the accident, such as emergency care, doctor appointments, medications, medical equipment, surgeries, hospitalizations, and long-term therapy. These expenses can result in medical bills rising into the tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, even when a victim has health insurance.
- Their non-medical expenses related to the accident, particularly the costs of hiring services to help with performing everyday activities, like driving, house cleaning, or childcare, that an injury prevents the victim from handling.
- Their lost income when injuries suffered in a Philadelphia Lyft accident result in missing substantial at work or not being able to return to work at all. Disability insurance may cover a small portion of these losses, but it rarely makes up for the full amount.
- Their physical pain, emotional suffering, and diminished quality of life, all of which can flow from living with severe injuries suffered in a Philadelphia Lyft accident.
