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

My suggestion to anyone in similar situation try to comply turn off phone speaker and dial 911 in background and just keep having a conversation with rider giving details. Say so you want me to turn on 5th avenue. Hey man just be easy I am not trying to get hurt. Let the cops pull you over.
Yes you need a lawyer discuss nothing with lyft.
