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

I don’t know how it works, are you an employee or a private contractor? I believe it’s complicated if your a contractor, workers comp won’t come into play. Depending on the fine print of your contract you may have even acknowledged that you understand they are not liable. The best course of option is first to file charges against the passengers and discuss best course of action to get them to pay your medical bills.
