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.

Rideshare services like Uber offer a convenient alternative to driving. But when your Uber ride ends in a crash, you’re left facing a complex claim against powerful companies and insurers.

Don’t try to navigate this confusing process alone. The Castle Rock Uber accident attorneys at Kennedy Injury Law are here to guide you through every step and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Rising Risk of Uber Accidents in Castle Rock

As Uber grows in popularity across Colorado, so do accidents involving their drivers. Causes of Uber crashes mirror those in typical collisions:

But Uber accident cases are far more complex. With multiple parties, layers of insurance coverage, and teams of corporate lawyers involved, Uber injury claims are a legal maze for victims to navigate.

Determining Fault in Colorado Uber Crashes

Uber accident cases often turn into blame games, with each side pointing the finger at the other. The Uber driver may blame the other motorist, the rideshare company often denies responsibility, and insurers look for any reason to dispute your claim.

We cut through the finger-pointing with evidence that proves fault, such as:

  • Police accident reports
  • Citations issued to drivers
  • Surveillance and dashcam video
  • Photographs of the scene
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Vehicle damage analysis
  • Accident reconstruction

Using this evidence, we build a strong case demonstrating how the crash happened and who bears responsibility for your injuries. Our goal is to hold all at-fault parties fully accountable.

Liability in Uber Accident Claims

So who can be held responsible when you’re hurt in an Uber? It depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash:

Off-Duty Uber Drivers

If the Uber driver was not logged into the app when they hit you, Uber’s insurance won’t cover your injuries. Your claim would proceed against the driver’s personal auto insurance like any other crash.

Drivers Awaiting a Ride

If the driver was logged in and waiting for a fare, Uber provides limited liability coverage if the driver’s personal insurance is insufficient. Current limits are:

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

Drivers Accepting a Ride or Transporting Passengers

Once a driver accepts a trip or has passengers in the car, Uber’s $1 million liability policy is in effect. This coverage is available to injured passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians.

Our attorneys will analyze the circumstances surrounding your crash to identify all potential sources of recovery. We’ll aggressively pursue the full compensation available under the law.

Tactics Uber Uses to Minimize Injury Claims

Despite advertising $1 million in coverage, Uber and their insurers don’t make collecting compensation easy. Expect their legal team to fight your claim by:

  • Denying the driver was logged into the app
  • Shifting blame to the injured victim
  • Disputing the extent of your injuries
  • Questioning the necessity of treatment
  • Arguing your injuries were pre-existing
  • Making lowball settlement offers
  • Delaying the claims process

These tactics are designed to frustrate you into dropping your claim or accepting less than you deserve. Don’t fall for it. Let our experienced Uber accident lawyers handle the legal bullies and advocate fiercely for your rights.

Full Compensation for Uber Accident Injuries

Uber crashes can leave victims suffering painful, debilitating injuries, such as:

We document the severity of your injuries and the extensive care you need now and in the years to come. Using your medical records, expert analysis, and testimony from your doctors, we build a case for maximum compensation, including:

  • Emergency room bills
  • Hospital and surgery costs
  • Specialist visits and therapy
  • Medication and medical devices
  • In-home nursing services
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Diminished future income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Disability and disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

We’ll also help you navigate the complex world of insurance, including your own personal injury protection, health insurance, and disability policies. Our mission is to identify every potential source of recovery so you receive the highest possible compensation.

Wrongful Death in Fatal Uber Accidents

If you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal Uber crash, no amount of money can heal your loss. But a wrongful death claim can provide a measure of justice and financial security for your family.

Our compassionate attorneys will guide you through this difficult process and fight to hold Uber accountable. We’ll seek compensation for:

  • Medical bills related to the crash
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of your loved one’s income
  • 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 a lawsuit can’t bring back your loved one, it can provide much-needed support and show rideshare companies that safety must come before profits.

What should I do if I'm injured in an Uber accident?

First, seek necessary medical care. Then report the crash to Uber and contact an experienced rideshare accident attorney. Your lawyer can gather crucial evidence, deal with insurance companies, and protect your right to maximum compensation.

Can I sue Uber directly for my injuries?

In most cases, accident victims can’t sue Uber directly due to their drivers’ independent contractor status. However, you can pursue compensation through Uber’s insurance coverage and from the at-fault parties. An attorney can help identify all potential sources of recovery.

What if the Uber driver was off-duty when they hit me?

If the driver was not logged into the Uber app, the company’s insurance likely won’t apply. Your claim would proceed against the driver’s personal auto insurance. An experienced lawyer can still help you navigate this process and pursue all available compensation.

How long do I have to file an Uber accident lawsuit in Colorado?

Colorado’s statute of limitations for most car accident lawsuits is three years from the date of the crash. However, it’s critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible so important evidence can be preserved.

Why do I need a lawyer for an Uber accident claim?

Uber accident claims involve multiple parties, complex insurance policies, and teams of experienced defense attorneys. An seasoned rideshare accident lawyer can level the playing field, handle the legal heavy lifting, and fight for your right to maximum compensation.

How much does it cost to hire an Uber accident attorney?

Most Uber accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front or out of pocket. The lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you. You have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain by contacting a rideshare crash lawyer.
