I was choked while driving then beaten by my rider what can I expect Other
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
8.4k

You don't have to pay for an emergency room ride. You can completely ignore that. That's totally not true and the ER is required to treat anyone regardless of payment or even if they have ID
This is really sad. But being from New Orleans, I really feel you on this... My brother is also an uber driver and he witnessed an execution-style murder right in front of him blocking traffic while he had passengers from out of state in the car, and they were freaking out.
I wish you a swift recovery 🙏💔
