Lyft drivers often have to deal with a lot of issues in their daily lives when they’re on the clock. They have to maneuver through various locations in the city and have to navigate traffic without getting into accidents. They also have to pick up and drop off passengers constantly. As a result, it can be very draining to drive for Lyft, and if an accident happens, drivers may find their accounts deactivated with no idea how to reactivate them. If you found that your Lyft account was deactivated, you can contact our law firm, the Downtown LA Law Group, and we will help you get your account back up and running. If you were in an accident and Lyft released you, we’ll ensure that you receive the settlement you deserve, as well.
Causes of Lyft DeactivationsIt is important that you understand that there are many ways in which your Lyft account could be deactivated. Some of these situations and actions are more serious than others, and could actually warrant additional legal action from those involved. You might not be able to reactivate your Lyft account if these violations are repeated or if you ignore any warnings. Some reasons your Lyft account can be disabled include:
If you find that you were deactivated, you will need to look through any messages and find out the reason. Accidents are very commonly the reason that accounts are deactivated, and if you were in a collision, you should get all the information together so you can fight to be reactivated.
There are many questions surrounding the reactivation of a Lyft account. Our clients often call us and ask us questions like:
It is possible for you to reactivate an account with ease, depending on the reason for deactivation in the first place. For example, it is easy to simply upload documents and proof showing that you got a new license or that your insurance policy was updated. You can also show proof of expungement or innocence in court if you were tried for a crime.
Some actions are impossible to remedy, though, such as sexual harassment.
An accident can result in your Lyft account being deactivated because the company does not want to deal with the insurance payments or with the entire legal process. You may have to fight tooth and nail to get your account back, since it could potentially stay suspended for weeks or months.
Lyft Insurance CoverageIn the event of an accident, you will need to gather insurance details to file a claim with Lyft. Lyft requires that all drivers hold their own auto insurance policies, but they will provide coverage as well, since personal auto insurance policies do not cover commercial driving. Lyft’s insurance is active only when you’re using the app.
The initial phase of the insurance coverage is active when you merely have the app turned on and you’re waiting for a ride. While this is happening, you’re covered for $50,000 per person bodily injury, up to $100,000 per incident and $25,000 for property damage coverage.
Once you accept a ride and you’re en route to the passenger, as well as during the time that the passenger is in your vehicle, you’re privy to $1 million of third-party liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury, and more. Notably, the contingent comprehensive and collision coverage is available only if you have it on your personal policy. This also comes with a $2,500 deductible you must meet before the insurance covers the damages.
If you were in an accident, it is possible that Lyft could pay for the various damages and expenses. However, in the aftermath, Lyft may very well decide to release you. They could claim that you were actually a problem driver and that your accident proved that you put other riders at risk. They may say that you are dangerous behind the wheel and it is in the best interests of both parties if you’re released.
If you were involved in a Lyft accident and your account was deactivated, it is crucial that you gather evidence of the incident and present it to the company. You will need proof to show that you were not at fault or that you were injured in the incident and you deserve proper insurance coverage. Our attorneys will do everything in our power to win you the compensation you deserve. We will pursue restitution for the following expenses:
