Lyft Driver Ran Over my Foot 

As I Was Getting Out of the Lyft Car, the Driver Ran Over My Foot!

Lyft drivers take people who book their services from Point A to Point B with great speed. But often that efficiency comes at a steep price, when a Lyft driver runs over your foot. People booking a Lyft rideshare never expect that the driver will be in such a hurry to come to them or leave them, that the driver will not realize he or she is running over the passenger’s foot. But this happens on a regular basis.

You might ask, “How can a Lyft driver actually physically run over the passenger’s foot?” Well, before the driver pulls into the curb, or as the driver of the Lyft vehicle is leaving the curb, the person can be distracted. That driver may be:

• Looking at oncoming traffic
• Looking at a mobile phone for a text
• Actually, texting on the mobile phone
• Looking at the stop light to see if it changed
• Looking at someone crossing the street in front of the vehicle
• Looking at a watch
• Looking in a bag or satchel
• Looking at a meter or app or satellite on a mobile phone for the next rideshare fare

If the Lyft driver is at all distracted while you enter or exit the vehicle, you can expect to experience an accident. You can get your foot run over quite easily in this scenario, as you can’t get away from the car fast enough to avoid being run over by the car and the Lyft driver. You will be in excruciating pain and need immediate medical attention, if the Lyft driver runs over your foot. Seek out that care to have your foot attended to, and then give us a call right away to initiate a lawsuit on your behalf for your medical injuries.

Crushing Foot Injuries Are Always Serious

If you are in an accident with a Lyft vehicle where you sustain a crushing foot injury, it is always a serious affair. Your foot injury can crush your foot and leave serous vascular damage to the soft tissues of your foot. Your injury can be associated with severe morbidity syndromes, and you are highly likely to have a permanent disability related to walking and mobility in the future.

It is challenging to impossible for a surgeon to restore the full function of a crushing injury to the foot, to give that person the full range of motion of the foot again in the future. Remember, your feet, both of them, help you to walk, balance, climb stairs, sit down, stand up and bear the weight of your entire body every day. If you suffer a crushing injury to your foot, you put into jeopardy that your body and bone structure will not be able to support you going forward.

Foot and Ankle Injuries

If your foot was run over by a Lyft driver, regardless of the specific cause of the incident, you are likely to suffer a number of injuries. Possible injuries could include the following:

• Toe injuries
• Foot fractures
• Ankle fractures
• Torn ligaments (ligament tears)
• Crushing foot injuries (which can be so severe that they could result in amputation)

In cases in which complex fractures occur, foot surgery and ankle surgery are often the only option available. This could include foot fusion surgery, ankle fusion surgery, and the installation of metal instruments on the leg (specifically the foot or ankle), including surgical metal screws and metal plates, for example.

In addition, fractures, nerve damage, and ligament damage in the foot or ankle can unfortunately develop into CRPS – or chronic pain – which can lead to unbearable pain that does not match the actual injury (the pain persist even after the injury has reached maximum recovery). Unfortunately, there is no cure for CRPS, and the main treatment is simply pain management. CRPS is considered one of the most severe results of foot injuries.

In cases involving severe foot and ankle injuries requiring surgery and long-term treatment (including physical therapy, for example), claim values are likely to range from $200,000 to $1,500,000. Of course, other details, besides the actual injury, are taken into account to determine this value.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Lawyer With Experience in Winning a Lyft Car Accident Case

Foot injuries usually need several follow up surgical procedures, including skin and bone grafts that will help to reattach the flap of skin damaged by the tire treads of the Lyft car during the accident. These injuries harm the soft tissue, which can become completely detached from the foot. The foot area may be more susceptible to infection, deadening and dying off of the skin in that area, bacterial infections and other complications related to a crushing foot injury.

Your recovery time will be extensive, and will depend on the severity of the crushing foot injury that you sustained. Although you may have some ambulation now, later you may even need and require an amputation of your foot, if it is not able to heal from this type of loss and damage. It may be difficult to impossible for a surgeon to recreate the lower limb flaps of skin, muscle and tissue that are damaged when the Lyft driver ran over your foot.
