Frequently Asked Rideshare Accident Questions

I Was Hit by an Uber Driver. What Should I Do?

If you were hit by an Uber (or Lyft) driver in Colorado, you need to call 911 at once. This will call medical techs and the police to the scene.

After you’ve gotten medical support, started a medical record, and made sure the police are writing their report, you have a few more calls to make:

First, call your Uber or Lyft accident attorney. (Here’s the number of a good one: 303.465.8733.) Then, report the accident to your insurance and the relevant rideshare company.

Your attorney may have some tips to follow when making these calls, so calling a Denver law firm first is a good idea.

What Kind of Insurance Coverage Do Rideshare Companies Have in Colorado?

In Colorado, rideshare companies carry commercial insurance. These insurance plans must provide enough coverage for both contracted rideshare drivers and rideshare passengers.

However, just because Uber and Lyft may have these policies in place doesn’t mean they’ll want to use them.

Don’t (ever) rely on the benevolence of a big company when trying to get compensation for your rideshare accident bills! 

Instead, call Jordan Law at once (at 303.465.8733) to set up your free rideshare accident consultation.

Should I Talk to an Insurance Company After a Rideshare Accident in Colorado?

You must talk to your insurance company to report the accident promptly to ensure access to your own benefits (if you need them).

You should know, though, that dealing with insurance companies is challenging. Insurance companies are focused on protecting their profits, not helping you pay your medical bills.

That goes for your insurer and Uber or Lift’s insurance representatives.

Speaking with your rideshare accident lawyer before you talk to any insurance company is a good idea – but you should act quickly.

As soon as possible after your accident, call 303.465.8733, and ask about how you should handle subsequent insurance conversations.

Does Lyft Pay for Accidents?

Lyft may pay for accidents.

Lyft’s website has a page detailing its policies for covered rideshare accidents. (Uber’s policy is right here.) Both discuss coverage of up to $1,000,000.00 for third-party auto liability.

This does not mean that achieving this level of payout will be automatic. Or remotely easy.

To ensure that Uber or Lyft will pay for your damages, retain the services of a trusted Denver rideshare accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident.

How Can a Colorado Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me After a Rideshare Accident?

Your Colorado personal injury lawyer will manage the complicated legal processes involved with getting you fair compensation. (If you’re wondering whether you need a lawyer to sue Uber: Not technically, but because Uber will definitely have accident lawyers, it’s a very good idea to retain your own lawyer for Uber or Lyft accidents.

They’ll negotiate with other parties, handle conversations with your insurer, help you learn as much as possible about your accident, and navigate the possibilities of settling or going to court (as is appropriate for your specific circumstances).

If you’re ready to set up your free consultation to discuss your rideshare accident, the team at Jordan Law is ready to assist as your trusted attorney for accidents in Uber or Lyft vehicles. Call 303.465.8733, and we’ll start working on your claim today.

What's My Uber or Lyft Case Worth?

The value of your case depends on your injuries and other losses, like medical bills and missed work.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle outside of court, but if needed, we will take your case to trial to get you fair compensation.

What if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?

Uber and Lyft have insurance that might cover your injuries, even if the other driver doesn’t have insurance.
