Medical Bills
Those injured in Lyft accidents often need:
- Ambulance transport from the accident scene
- Emergency medical treatment

- Hospitalization
- Rehabilitation
Your Erie auto accident attorney from Berger and Green will speak with you about the toll your injuries have had on your life. We will also secure all relevant medical records and determine the exact financial cost of your accident-related care.
Lost Income
Rideshare accident victims often face a sudden, costly pause in their professional lives. Even a short interruption in your work could cause:
- Lost income
- Missed opportunities for performance bonuses
- Lost chances for promotion
Longer absences may cause you to lose employer-provided benefits. We have even seen automobile accident victims who are permanently disabled and never able to work again.

Accident victims have a wide range of potential responses to the collision (and to being injured), which can include:
- Acute and chronic physical pain
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety, which may include generalized anxiety or an acute fear of being in or near motor vehicles
- Depression
- Sleep problems, which may include insomnia or nightmares involving the accident
Berger and Green will connect you with professionals who can provide necessary mental health services. This will ensure you receive the treatment you need while also documenting your pain and suffering.
Property Damage

Negotiating for a Settlement with the Insurance Adjuster

Let us fight for the money you deserve, so you can focus on recovering. If liable parties (possibly including Lyft’s insurance provider) do not offer a fair settlement, we’ll discuss going to court.
