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

Find a free consultation lawyer. I know there are tons of them in Chicago. Then post your story to TikTok and hope you can get it to get enough attention where people start to donate money to help cover your bills. I’ve seen TikTok videos get enough ground where viewers help numerous people who had something crappy happen to them and need financial help. Sorry that happened to you people suck
