Which insurance company handles Lyft accident injury claims? In the state of Maryland, Lyft's account is handled by State Farm Insurance. State Farm is very well known for lowballing unrepresented victims and not providing fair or reasonable settlement value for an injured victim's claim who was seriously injured in a Lyft accident prior to a lawsuit being filed and the discovery process being done. What does that mean? If an injured victim is seriously injured in a Lyft accident, they must immediately retain a personal injury lawyer. They must file a lawsuit against Lyft's policy and Lyft's insured drivers, and they must go through the discovery process. State Farm will not offer fair and reasonable value until all necessary depositions of the drivers or eyewitness are completed; State Farm has had a chance to review all of the injured victim's medical records and bills, and perhaps anything else State Farm will ask for... perhaps expert witness depositions, you name it. Until everything is done and this can only be done through the litigation process, State Farm will not offer fair value for injured victims for their Lyft accident claims. It is critical that anybody who was injured, seriously injured in a Lyft accident immediately retains an experienced personal injury lawyer.
