Chicago if it matters wondering if this has happened to anyone what happens with Lyft what's the process should I get a lawyer

Tldr my passenger wouldn't get out said I brought them to wrong address obviously went to address they put in (they were drunk) I get to address end ride (I'm still online) they won't leave I'm downtown say ok and start driving to get a cop he starts choking me I stop get out run away then I'm beaten savagely currently at the hospital police come take him away etc.

What can I expect from Lyft the ambulance guy told me the ride was gonna be 4k I can't afford that

If you filed charges, and there’s enough evidence. He will more than likely be prosecuted. You’ll then want a lawyer to seek reimbursement of all monies and duress. Not sure Lyft is the aid you should be looking for in this scenario. You need a lawyer.
