Additionally, it still kinda seems like you may want to submit it through lyft, deal with having to pay your deductible and then see what you can due to pursue the deductible itself. Most carriers will pursue subrogation for something like that on your behalf and save you that headache but if what they're out of pocket is pretty deminimis they may not bother (unless your policy mandates that they do so).
Having an amount that's been 'liquidated' is just easier. If you can demonstrate 'look, I'm out exactly the $2,500 for my deductible' that's going to be easier than proving up your lost wages, diminution in value, etc... as those amounts can be pretty speculative.
