Rideshare Accident Attorneys in Denver

Getting Your Medical Bills Paid After a No-Fault Accident

A Colorado man featured in CBS Denver survived a hit-and-run Lyft car accident after sustaining serious bodily injuries. He incurred nearly $200,000 in medical bills after the rideshare accident, assuming Lyft or the rideshare driver would be responsible for the damages.

Hiring a rideshare accident attorney uncovered that rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft don’t cover medical bills as a result of a collision and only offer a certain amount of money to cover claims, up to $5,000. The victim of the crash had to pay the rest out-of-pocket.

A step in the right direction, the state now requires rideshare drivers of Uber and Lyft to carry additional insurance coverage protection for under-insured drivers and passengers.

This is only one nuisance to these rideshare companies, however. Uber and Lyft accidents involving rideshare drivers are more complicated and complex than traditional car accidents. When incidents occur, there’s confusion over liability and insurance coverage, and who is legally responsible with so many parties involved.

If you were hit by an Uber or Lyft driver while walking, or you are the victim of a ridesharing accident and suffered injuries and lost wages, among other things, you might be entitled to compensation and damages. Call Ragab Law Firm, P.C. and a Lyft accident attorney will help you determine the best course of action to turn your situation around for the better.

Who Is Responsible After a Rideshare Accident?

Rideshare drivers of services like Uber and Lyft must follow certain protocols and meet legal standards in order to offer transportation services.

Depending on your unique circumstances, a rideshare accident attorney with Ragab Law Firm, P.C., might be the only opportunity for clarity amid the chaos.

The two main rideshare companies, Uber and Lyft, have a 1 million dollar insurance policy for drivers who are logged into the app. They provide compensation for medical expenses, treatment of personal injuries, and death when rideshare drivers have been hurt in an accident that was caused by another driver, when drivers are hurt inside the vehicle due to reckless or negligent driving behavior, or when a rideshare driver injures bystanders and pedestrians.

Courts have since tightened up restrictions around rideshare services, agreeing that rideshare drivers owe passengers a duty as more accidents have put more individuals at risk. Accidents involving rideshare drivers, like other car accidents, involve multiple drivers and possible scenarios that need to be vetted by a Lyft accident attorney like Ragab Law Firm, P.C., with experience in rideshare accidents to help you seek justice.

If you have experienced the negligence of a rideshare driver with Uber and Lyft or you are the victim of another driver’s careless behavior while using a rideshare service, you might be entitled to fair compensation and damages. Book a Free Case Evaluation with Ragab Law Firm, P.C., to see if you have a case.

How Can I Protect Myself When Using Rideshare Services?

Thousands of people use rideshare services like Uber or Lyft for transportation purposes every single day without knowing they are at risk and possibly responsible for out-of-pocket medical expenses if a car accident happens and causes injury.

Part of the problem is that Uber and Lyft drivers were never given the same level of training as taxi drivers and other commercial drivers, making situations involving collisions or accidents blurrier and more complex for rideshare passengers. Particularly where responsibility and liability fall.

Rideshare users must protect themselves when using Uber or Lyft with rideshare insurance coverage or personal insurance coverage.  This is important whether you’re using rideshare services for work-related reasons or recreational activities, as accidents occur at any time.

  • Understand your current auto insurance policy, including uninsured or under-insured motorist coverage, and what might be covered (or not covered) if an accident occurs
  • Consult a rideshare accident attorney and discuss tips on how to keep yourself safe as a rideshare passenger, including insurance options
  • Log into the Uber and Lyft app and make a note of your driver’s license plate and information. Do not accept services from an Uber and Lyft driver when they are off-duty, as any accidents that occur will fall under their (and your) personal liability insurance
  • Consider non-owner car insurance if you use Uber and Lyft services regularly, as this coverage might help if you’re hurt in a crash through no fault of your own

Better understanding rideshare services and how they work is the first step in protecting yourself from harm when using an Uber or Lyft vehicle as a transportation service. Learn more with a no-obligation free case evaluation.

What Should I Do After I’ve Been Hit in an Uber or Lyft?

Similar to a car accident, if you’ve been injured by or in a rideshare vehicle after an accident occurred, you can take careful steps to protect yourself after an accident occurred. A rideshare accident lawyer with Ragab Law Firm, P.C. can provide you with immediate and valuable counsel after an incident, and ensure you have legal representation and protection before fault has been determined.

  • Stay at the scene and contact the police so they can document the accident and file a police report
  • Collect your Uber or Lyft driver’s license plate and driver’s license information, as well as the other driver’s information
  • Seek medical attention right away if you or the driver has serious injuries, or in the event you have mild or no injuries, see a physician to ensure there’s no internal trauma
  • Take photos and gather evidence, including any vehicle damage, property damage, or visible injuries
  • Unlike a car accident, given you are not driving the vehicle, you do not have to contact your insurance company
  • Depending on the severity of the accident, our rideshare accident attorneys can determine if you have a personal injury claim

In an Uber or Lyft accident, you can rely on our team of ridesharing accident attorneys for prompt legal advice and action. Book a Free Case Evaluation today and find out if you have a personal injury case at 303-557-2011.

Talk to a Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Under Colorado’s fault-based insurance laws, drivers of a rideshare company like Uber and Lyft must carry a minimum of $25,000 in bodily damage coverage per person, $50,000 in bodily damage coverage per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. If the driver does not have enough insurance coverage or cannot cover the remaining out-of-pocket expenses, the injured passenger might have to rely on uninsured motorist coverage or file a personal injury lawsuit.

In a ride-share accident, whether you have been hit by an Uber or Lyft driver, or a rideshare driver made careless and reckless decisions that led to a car accident and serious injuries, there are a lot of “what if” scenarios regarding insurance coverage, who is at fault and who carries the liability, you the passenger, the rideshare driver or another driver.

It might be difficult to obtain a reasonable settlement or award without experienced and knowledgeable injury lawyers at Ragab Law Firm, P.C. to manage your rideshare case after an at-fault driver causes an accident.

If you have expensive hospital bills as a result of an Uber accident or accident involving Lyft or don’t have enough personal injury coverage or liability insurance after a car crash, take advantage of a Free Case Evaluation with Ragab Law Firm, P.C.
