Liability
Directly liable for negligent driving — distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, DUI, or any breach of the duty of care owed to passengers and other road users.
Liable under negligent hiring, negligent retention, and non-delegable duty theories. Lyft's background check failures and failure to act on complaints create direct liability.
If a third-party driver caused or contributed to the crash, they and their insurer are liable. Lyft's UM/UIM coverage may also apply.
If a vehicle defect contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may be liable under product liability law.
