Castle Rock Lyft Accident Lawyer

Castle Rock Car Accident Lawyer
Turn Pain into Power, Injury into Justice

We fight to make sure you’re heard. We win because your recovery depends on it. You deserve results, not excuses—let’s get to work.

Lyft rides are supposed to be a safe alternative to driving. But when your trip ends in a crash, you’re left hurt, confused, and wondering where to turn.

Don’t face this difficult situation alone. The Castle Rock Lyft accident lawyers at Kennedy Injury Law are here to guide you through the legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Growing Danger of Lyft Accidents

As Lyft expands across Colorado, accidents involving their drivers are becoming more common. Causes mirror those seen in other crashes:

But Lyft accident claims are far more complex than typical crash cases. Multiple insurance policies, layers of corporate liability protection, and armies of defense lawyers make these claims a legal labyrinth.

Proving Fault in Lyft Accident Cases

Lyft accident claims often devolve into finger-pointing. The Lyft driver blames the other motorist, the rideshare company denies responsibility, and insurers look for any reason to deny coverage.

We cut through the blame game with hard evidence, including:

  • Accident scene photographs
  • Police crash reports
  • Traffic camera footage
  • Witness statements
  • Lyft driver records
  • Vehicle damage analysis
  • Accident reconstruction

Using this evidence, we piece together how the crash unfolded and identify who is legally responsible for your injuries. Our goal is to hold all at-fault parties fully accountable.

Liability in Colorado Lyft Accidents

Determining liability in a Lyft crash depends on the driver’s status in the Lyft app when the wreck occurred:

Off-Duty Lyft Drivers

If the driver wasn’t logged into the app, Lyft’s insurance doesn’t apply. Your claim would proceed against the driver’s personal auto policy like any other crash.

Drivers Awaiting a Ride Request

When logged in and awaiting a fare, Lyft provides contingent liability coverage if the driver’s personal insurance is insufficient:

  • $50,000/person for bodily injury
  • $100,000/accident for bodily injury
  • $25,000/accident for property damage

Drivers Accepting a Ride or Transporting Passengers

From the moment a ride is accepted until the passenger exits, Lyft’s $1 million liability policy is in effect. This coverage applies to injured passengers, pedestrians, and occupants of other vehicles.

Our lawyers will analyze your crash to identify all applicable insurance policies. We’ll then aggressively pursue the maximum compensation available under Colorado law.

Tactics Lyft Uses to Minimize Claims

Despite touting $1 million in coverage, Lyft doesn’t make collecting easy. Their insurers and lawyers will fight your claim by:

  • Disputing that the driver was logged in
  • Arguing the crash was your fault
  • Questioning the severity of your injuries
  • Claiming your treatment is excessive
  • Asserting your injuries are pre-existing
  • Making lowball settlement offers
  • Dragging out the legal process

These tactics are designed to frustrate you into dropping your claim or accepting a quick lowball offer. Don’t fall for it. Let our battle-tested Lyft accident attorneys handle the legal bullies and fight relentlessly for your rights.

Full Compensation for Lyft Crash Injuries

Even at low speeds, Lyft collisions can cause devastating injuries, such as:

  • Concussions and brain damage
  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Back and spinal cord trauma
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Ligament and tendon tears
  • Lacerations and scarring
  • Internal organ damage
  • Emotional distress and PTSD

We work hand-in-hand with your doctors to document the severity of your injuries and the full scope of treatment you need now and in the future. Leveraging your medical records, expert opinions, and testimony from your physicians, we build a case for maximum compensation, including:

  • Ambulance and ER bills
  • Hospital and surgery costs
  • Medication and medical devices
  • Physical and occupational therapy
  • Mental health counseling
  • In-home nursing care
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability and disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

We’ll also navigate the complex interplay between Lyft’s coverage and your own auto and health insurance policies. Our mission is to identify every potential source of recovery, so you receive the largest possible settlement or verdict.

Wrongful Death in Fatal Lyft Accidents

If you’ve lost a family member in a deadly Lyft crash, we know that no amount of money can fill that void. But pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide justice, accountability, and financial security in the wake of tragedy.

Our compassionate lawyers will guide you through this painful process with sensitivity while aggressively advocating for your family. We’ll pursue compensation for:

  • Medical bills for your loved one’s final care
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of financial support and benefits
  • Loss of inheritance for surviving children
  • Loss of care, guidance, and companionship
  • Your loved one’s pain and suffering
  • Your family’s grief and sorrow

While legal action can’t undo your loss, it can provide the resources to help your family heal and move forward after an unthinkable tragedy.

What should I do after a Lyft accident?

Prioritize your health and safety first. Seek necessary medical care, then report the crash to Lyft and contact an experienced rideshare accident lawyer. Your attorney can gather evidence, deal with insurers, and protect your rights.

Can I sue Lyft directly after a crash?

In most cases, you cannot sue Lyft directly due to their drivers’ status as independent contractors. However, you can pursue compensation through Lyft’s insurance coverage and from the at-fault parties. An attorney can identify all potential avenues for recovery.

Will Lyft's insurance cover me if I was hit by an off-duty Lyft driver?

If the driver was not actively using the Lyft app when they hit you, Lyft’s insurance likely won’t apply. However, you can still pursue a claim against the driver’s personal auto insurance. A lawyer can guide you through this process.

How much time do I have to file a Lyft accident claim in Colorado?

Colorado generally provides three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. But it’s crucial to contact an attorney right away so time-sensitive evidence can be preserved to strengthen your case.

Do I need a lawyer for my Lyft accident case?

Yes. Lyft accident claims involve complicated insurance policies, multiple liable parties, and experienced corporate legal teams. An attorney can level the playing field and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

What does it cost to hire a Lyft accident lawyer?

Most Lyft accident attorneys, including Kennedy Injury Law, work on contingency. That means you pay nothing up front and only owe a fee if the lawyer successfully recovers compensation for you. You have nothing to lose by contacting a Lyft accident lawyer for advice.
