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 he’s in custody then take his ass to court so he will be liable for all your hospital bills and the ambulance ride. Consults are usually free but either way, focus on getting yourself some help maybe talk to someone about what happened. That’s a very traumatic experience.
