This Lyft driver made a crazy error. Missed his exit ramp, and instead of continuing on and rerouting, he comes to a complete stop on a busy road and attempts to go back and still get the ramp.

At this point my Spider Senses are on full blast, we should not be at a full stop on this busy ass road like this. Split second later a huge Chevy 2500 fully loaded pickup truck rear ends the all fuck out of us and sends us flying up over the concrete island and we land on the other side.

Got whiplash in my neck and now my lower back has been killing me. This was like 5 days ago. Hired a lawyer and just started physical therapy. Lawyer says we have a very strong case against Lyft.

This has overall been a pretty crap experience though. I'm terrified in the back of Lyfts now and I ride a bike for a living so this is stopping me from working

Sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you heal quick. I never knew you could sue ride sharing companies for driver incompetence. I took an Uber home once and my driver spoke no English, was texting and FaceTiming people, did an illegal U-Turn on a major road and drove on the left.

Yeah I've never seen anything like it. Look at the skid marks on the concrete island. We were WAY too far past the exit to try and make that move

When I was in Germany, my tour bus driver did this on the fucking autobahn. Just came to a complete stop and backed up to get to the exit he missed. It was my first day there, I was like wtf

While in the back of a Lyft they are responsible for your safety. Lyft pays up to $50k for personal injury when involved in an accident while riding with them. It's a civil suit. Lyft has already tried to contact me with one of their claims adjusters to try and settle but fuck that.

Sorry to hear and glad you're okay and congrats on the incoming payday!

My girlfriend and I see this constantly on highways; morons will zip over three lanes to hit their exit instead of just saying ah fuck it missed that exit will take five minutes to turn around at the next exit

People are so stupid

saw a guy pull something like that on the interstate once, though i think he missed the exit by about a quarter mile and decided the correct thing to do was to drive the wrong way at about 100mph back to the exit ramp... one of the scariest moments i've ever had on the road involved that psychopath barreling in my direction.

not sure you'll win against lyft though. hope you're taking the time to sue his insurance.

My lawyer is suing them both. He said Lyft is his primary target though. The skid marks on the concrete island in the pictures shows that the car was much too far up to try and make the exit. He should have never come to a complete stop right there. That was totally illegal and very dangerous

Lyft has already reached out to me to try and settle. They know they are liable.

Went to Urgent Care and I'm already on my second day of physical therapy for my neck and back.

IDK I immediately referred them to my lawyer, he said not to talk to them at all.

I was in an accident in the past though and the insurance company offered me $1,500 to settle. I could have drawn it out and maybe got like 8 grand but I just took it because I wasn't hurt

I see this kinda shit so often. Don't know why it's so hard for people to accept that they fucked up and adjust their route instead of putting everyone else in danger doing dumb shit.

Good luck dude. That all around sounds incredibly shitty. I was in a pretty bad wreck in 2014, got tboned in a construction zone where the other car ran a stop sign hella fast. Haven't really fully recovered my lower discs but I manage pretty well. Got about $8k in the settlement. Hope you recover better than I did lol

Check out the video halfway down page 1 of this topic. I thought he invented some new way to be unsafe but apparently people do this shit

Even though you are banged up, i'm glad you are alright and it could have been worse. Your ass could have been assassinated.

Really though, I hope your recovery goes well and you get the compensation you deserve.
