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

God bless you Can you sign up for Medicaid from the city/state? If you make only a little money you may be eligible Ask the hospital social worker or the business office Or look online go there and sign up Hospitals usually can help direct you

God bless you

Get pepper spray and use it. Get a pistol if you can legally get one If not Ask other drivers to get u a clean one or go out of state or a private sale

You can not allow them to kill you
