Castle Rock Uber/Lyft Accident Lawyer

Nowadays, companies like Uber and Lyft provide an invaluable transportation service for people across the country. However, just like any other type of motorist on state and federal roadways, they are also susceptible to being involved in traffic accidents during the transport of passengers.

If you or someone you love were injured in an auto collision involving a vehicle operated by a Lyft or Uber driver, you could seek to recover monetary damages for your losses from the driver or the company they are employed with. To learn more about the options available to you, you may wish to speak with a Castle Rock Uber/Lyft accident lawyer. An experienced car crash attorney could determine who is liable for the wreck and how you could recover compensation for your damages.

Recoverable Damages in Uber/Lyft Vehicle Collisions

The damages a person may recover in a motor vehicle accident involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle can cover both economic and non-economic losses. In Colorado, these damages aim to compensate a plaintiff for both their financial and personal losses that result from an accident, as per § 13-64-202(1) and (5) of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.).

Under C.R.S. § 13-64-202(1), economic loss is defined as any monetary, tangible losses someone suffers in a collision. Such losses may include potentially lost income due to time off work to treat injuries and costs associated with medical care received by an injured party as a result of their harm.

Under C.R.S. § 13-64-202(5), a non-economic loss is considered any intangible damages relating to the injuries a person suffered in the rideshare collision. These losses include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of consortium, and overall decreased quality of life. An experienced local attorney could work to ensure someone injured by a negligent rideshare driver recovers any and all damages available to sufficiently compensate them for their losses resulting from the wreck.

Who is Liable for a Wreck Caused by a Rideshare Driver?

In most cases where a traffic accident involves a motorist working for a company like Uber or Lyft, the company employer of the driver may be held vicariously liable for any damages for which their driver is deemed accountable. In many cases, rideshare companies’ insurance covers passengers while they are using the Uber/Lyft vehicle.

However, in some cases, people may have their damages reduced under Colorado’s contributory negligence law, codified under C.R.S. § 13-21-111(1). Under the law, if an injured party is determined to be more responsible for their harm than the defendant, they may be barred from recovery entirely. If the plaintiff is less liable than the defendant, then their total recoverable damages will be reduced by their percentage of fault. For example, this may be the case if a speeding driver is struck by an Uber or Lyft driver who fails to yield.
