I was in a car accident 2 years ago driving lyft and just got sued. What can I do?
During the accident a cop came and took reports, I gave them my insurance info and reported it to Lyft. It happened while I was on the way to pick up a passenger. I figured since I have insurance with Lyft they will pay for damages. I never heard from anyone since. Today I just got served papers that I'm being sued. I tried contacting Lyft through the app and they sent me to another agent that told me I had to call their headquarters. I asked for the number and they gave me this info...
Lyft corporate headquarters
185 Berry Street, Suite 500
San Francisco, CA 94107
844-250-2773
When calling that number it was nothing more than an automated service redirecting me back to their help.lyft.com website. I'm running around in circles.
Is Lyft obligated to help provide a defense lawyer since we are required to pay for their insurance? This is the information I found through Google but don't know if it's accurate.
Lyft does not make contacting them easy. I don't know where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know who I can call next.
