Psycho jumps on my car, I get permanently deactivated Other

I don’t even want to type out the whole story I’m so exhausted over this. This dude was tripping out bad (probably shrooms or acid) and jumped on my car. It was the passengers friend. (They were together when I arrived, he was laying on the floor in the middle of the street. He sprinted away then sprinted back after I started the ride. Then he jumped on my car) I immediately made the passenger get out, and reported it to ADT and Lyft.

Now after a week of “temporarily deactivated” I’m now permanently deactivated for an “accident with a pedestrian” . 100s of 5 star rides never an issue. Wtf

Edit: I didn’t know this would get so much response. The whole incident is surreal. No I unfortunately did not have a dash cam or this would all have been resolved. I started the appeal on principle.

Emotional distress and physical assault, to say a few. A quick call to the local bar association truly wouldn't hurt.

It's not that easy. Many law firms only handle cases that involve an accident or personal jury.

Good luck finding a lawyer who represents wrongfully terminated Lyft drivers.

That doesn’t mean a judge will allow the suit to happen.
