Lyft driver damages my property

[JustFit]

What is the name of your state? Mississippi.

The Lyft driver drove over my camera bag, damage the camera.
I asked him for insurance info... he won't tell me.
I got his Tennessee Licence plate number and his first name.

I emailed Lyft and Lyft support emailed me that their policy won't pay for it.

I called the police... and he said it was just an accident... and I should get the driver's phone number
from Lyft.... because it is a civil matter.

I don't think Lyft will give me his phone number or any information about him.

I feel it is unfair.

How did your camera bag end up in a position to be run over?

 

[JustFit]

I had the bag in the wheelchair. And I put the bag hit the ground as I try to put the wheelchair in the trunk. THe driver helped me.
And I forgot about the bag... until the SUV bumped over it. So I told him to stop the car, I got out of the car and retrieve my bag.

Seems to be negligence on your part. Why do you believe the driver had more responsibility for your bag than you?

 

[Zigner]

Good thing your item didn't damage his car or you might be paying for that.

And I forgot about the bag...

Not his fault. Sorry.

Do you have homeowners or renters insurance?

Vehicle damage to personal property is covered, even when you are careless.

You were responsible for your bag. You are the reason the bag and camera were damaged. You don't get to blame anyone else.

Px hx.

Interesting. So Justfit collapses and decides that everyone else has to pay for his/her collapse due to health issues without any proof that the hotel or Walmart did wrong. And then it is Lyft's fault, JustFit left their property on the ground and wants to sue the driver.

Justfit needs to grow up and take responsibility for his/her actions and quit being irresponsible and litigious.

Frankly, it seems to me that Justfit has a chip on their shoulder.

And how would you have money to fly to LA to sue anyone? Considering you had no money at the end of last year to fly for a criminal trial. (3) is it too late to sue | Page 2 | Forum.FreeAdvice.com

Life isn't fair. Do you have a question?

I put the bag hit the ground as I try to put the wheelchair in the trunk. THe driver helped me.

This seems to have been primarily your fault. Whether the driver also has some measure of fault isn't apparent from your post.

Just to clarify why everyone here thinks it was your fault.

As a Lyft driver, I'm getting a lot of amusement out of this thread.

Driver hit a stationary object. He has at least some blame.
