Injured in a rideshare accident? We’ll help you navigate the road to recovery.

Accidents involving Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services can be complex. Multiple insurance policies may apply, and coverage depends on whether the driver was logged in, en route to pick up a passenger, or had a passenger in the vehicle. Victims can suffer serious injuries, face steep medical bills, and deal with lost income while trying to understand who is responsible. At the Julian Bendinelli Law Firm, we know how to handle the unique challenges of rideshare accident claims in Colorado. We’ll investigate liability, coordinate with medical providers, and fight for the full compensation you need to recover physically and financially.

Why Legal Help Matters After a Rideshare Accident

Colorado rideshare accident claims require knowledge of state law, insurance policies, and liability rules.

Navigating Multiple Insurance Policies

Uber and Lyft each have tiered insurance coverage depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. We review rideshare company policies, personal auto coverage, and other applicable insurance to maximize your recovery.

Determining Liability in Complex Cases

Liability may involve the rideshare driver, another motorist, the rideshare company, or even a third party responsible for road hazards. We conduct a thorough investigation to identify every at-fault party and hold them accountable.

Protecting Your Rights Against Large Corporations

Uber and Lyft have legal teams dedicated to minimizing payouts. We negotiate aggressively and, when needed, litigate in court to ensure your claim is taken seriously and your rights are protected.

What You May Be Entitled To

If you’ve been hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident, you may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

Uber & Lyft Accident Claim FAQs

Answers to common questions about rideshare accident claims in Colorado.

1. Who is responsible for paying my damages after a rideshare accident?

Liability depends on who caused the crash and the rideshare driver’s status in the app. Uber and Lyft have $1 million liability policies for accidents when a passenger is in the car or the driver is on the way to pick one up. If the driver was logged in but waiting for a ride request, lower coverage applies.

2. How do I know if Uber or Lyft insurance applies to my case?

The driver’s app records show whether they were actively engaged in a ride. This determines whether Uber/Lyft’s commercial coverage or the driver’s personal insurance applies. We obtain and review this data as part of our investigation.

3. Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly for an accident?

In most cases, rideshare companies classify drivers as independent contractors, which limits direct lawsuits. However, there are exceptions if negligence in hiring, training, or safety policies contributed to the crash.

4. How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in Colorado?

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim involving a motor vehicle. It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

5. What damages can I recover after an Uber or Lyft accident?

You may recover medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life.

6. Do I need an attorney for a rideshare accident claim?

While you can file a claim on your own, rideshare accident cases are more complex than standard car accidents. Having a lawyer ensures you understand coverage, deadlines, and how to maximize your recovery.
