Have you heard anything from Lift? I hope the driver was terminated but I
seriously have doubts about it.

I ordered a Lyft ride at about 12:30 P.M. on August 13th, 2026 to get to an
appointment.  The driver, Khaled, with license plate numberKVA2320 arrived
and as I approached the vehicle and reached for the door handle, the driver
stated no pets.  Even after I stated my dog is a service animal and by law
you cannot refuse me a ride, he stated no pets again.  He violated not only
Lyft's policy, but he violated state and federal law as well.  He clearly
knew I had a service animal as well since I have the optional service animal
notification for drivers enabled.  He had a clear path to proceed forward,
but instead, he intentionally reversed his vehicle and struck me with his
passenger side mirror.  Before I could move myself and my Seeing Eye Dog out
of the way, he did this a second time.  We are okay, but the Warren County
Sherrif department is not going to file charges against this driver even
though this was a hit and run under Ohio law and an assault with a deadly
weapon.

 

Hoping Evelyn's work has recovered from how horrible her work was this past
Thursday.
