Unfortunately, this is not the first time and will not be the last time that the negligent actions of a rideshare driver led to the death of an innocent passenger. Although family of the victim could pursue a criminal case against the negligent driver, that is not the only option. Surviving family members could also pursue a civil case.
Without a doubt, the family of victims could pursue a civil lawsuit against the negligent driver and their insurance company. The claim would be filed based on the fact that all drivers on the road owe all others on the road (including their passengers) a duty of care; driving negligently and contributing to incidents could make them liable. However, if the incident occurred during an active ride, the rideshare company could face liability as well. In fact, Lyft and other rideshare companies offer an insurance policy that cover passengers in case of accidents. Therefore, affected parties have the right to file an injury claim with Lyft’s insurance policy. In addition, Lyft could even be liable for failing to ensure that the driver met and followed their safety standards, for instance.
Whatever the angle, it is important that you know that you could have the right to sue for the fatal Lyft accident that affected your family.
