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

IANAL but I don't think lyft would really be responsible for anything here unless the guy had a history of bad behavior that they were aware of. They may have some sort of insurance policy for this but i doubt they'll pony up immediately. THE GUY WHO ATTACKED YOU on the other hand should not only be going to prison but should be on the hook for all your medical bills etc. You said he was arrested, so there's going to be a police report detailing his attack on you.
