Colorado Springs Rideshare Accident Lawyers
Rideshare companies, like Uber and Lyft, are convenient. However, accidents can happen and when they do, sorting out who is responsible for accident injuries can be complicated. Our Colorado Springs rideshare accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Clifton Black, PC can help you hold negligent parties responsible for your accident injuries.
What Makes A Rideshare Accident Different From Other Crashes?
Many rideshare companies, like Uber and Lyft, have heavily lobbied lawmakers to avoid liability for injuries caused by crashes in which their drivers are involved. They have created several exceptions, both contractual and legal, relating to their liability, depending on the situation.
When someone is injured in a rideshare crash, there are questions that aren’t involved in standard motor vehicle crash cases. Was the rideshare driver at fault? Was the rideshare driver on the way to a pickup, or was the rideshare driver transporting a passenger? Did the rideshare driver have their own insurance? If you have been injured in a Lyft accident or an Uber crash, an experienced Colorado rideshare attorney can help you sort out who is responsible.
