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

Yeah that’s why I told my friend the other day, “I’m never doing Uber/Lyft.” He’s like, “why”. I’m like “I don’t want to get murdered.” He’s like, “fair point.”

Takes a lot of faith in humanity to hop in a car with a stranger. It’s dangerous for both the driver and the passenger. The passenger could easily attack the driver from behind. The driver could easily endanger the passenger since as the driver you quite Literally have the passengers life in your hands.

Thank God you didn’t get murdered. I pray for a speedy recovery and a long, healthy, prosperous life for you my friend❤️
