How to Choose an Uber Accident Lawyer in Colorado Springs
When you’re involved in any car accident, it’s a difficult time that can be completely life-changing. When the accident involves an Uber driver, it can be even more confusing.
Determining who is responsible for your injuries can be tricky, and you may need an experienced Uber accident attorney to help you navigate the legal process. Unfortunately, finding the right lawyer to help you can seem equally as difficult.
To aid you in your search, our team at Heuser & Heuser, LLP has broken down how to choose the best Colorado Springs Uber accident lawyer.
Look for an Attorney With Experience Handling Uber Accidents
There are a lot of attorneys out there who claim to handle Uber accidents, but many of them may treat your incident just like any other car wreck. You want an attorney who knows the differences between a regular car accident and one involving a ride-share driver.
Ride-share accidents require dealing with the insurance provided by the company as well as the driver’s personal coverage (if any). While almost every type of auto accident requires dealing with insurance companies, ride-share companies, like Uber and Lyft, have large liability policies with very strict rules for when you’re covered under these policies and when you aren’t.
Having an experienced Colorado Springs Uber accident lawyer who not only knows how to handle insurance companies but also understands the ins and outs of Uber and Lyft’s specific policies can make a big difference in the success of your claim.
Look for a Lawyer With Local Knowledge
Every state, county, and municipality has its own laws for dealing with auto accidents. While these differences are often small, they can be very important. If you’re in an accident in Colorado Springs or a nearby area, you want a Colorado Springs Uber accident lawyer on your side.
An attorney with local knowledge will have a better understanding of any specific regional rules and regulations that can affect your claim and will know how to determine the best course of action.
Look for an Attorney With Great Reviews
Talk to friends, family, acquaintances, and business contacts to ask for recommendations and referrals. One of the best ways to find a good attorney is to work with those who have done well for people you know. Many of the best ride-share accident lawyers build their client base on referrals.
Doing your research online is also a great way to make sure the Uber accident lawyer you’re considering has gotten good reviews and results for other people in your situation.
Look for a Lawyer Who Answers Your Questions
Don’t be afraid to ask questions at your initial consultation. This time is for the attorney to learn about your case, but is also for you to learn about them and whether you think they’ll be the right fit to help you through this difficult time. It can be helpful to come prepared with a list of questions you’d like to have answered. The right attorney should be able to answer all your questions and make you feel comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know What My Case Is Worth?
There are a variety of things we look at when evaluating your case and determining its value. We look at how the accident occurred. We look at what sort of injuries you sustained. Do you have a permanent injury that will last the rest of your life? Are you going to have future medical bills? We look at lost wages. Did you lose your job? If you have permanent work restrictions as a result of the accident, you may not be able to find a job very easily in the future. These are some of the factors that we look at in evaluating a claim. Every case is unique and different. That’s why at our law firm, every case gets personal attention from the lawyer when it comes time to evaluate.
Why is it Important to Hire a Lawyer?
Insurance companies are in business for a reason: to make money. Anytime they are paying money on a claim, it means less money to their bottom line. They have literally hundreds of adjusters and hundreds of lawyers who are on their side trying to figure out how to prevent money from leaving their checkbooks. Quite frankly, you do need a lawyer to help you through this because your lawyer will make sure you’re properly compensated.
Do Cases Settle Without Going to Court?
Cases settle before going to trial 80 to 90 percent of the time. However, that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of work involved in getting a case settled outside of court. Sometimes you have to file a lawsuit and do a lot of what I call “legal maneuvering” to get a case settled. That means we take depositions from witnesses to the accident, from police officers, and from your doctors. But, yes, most cases will settle prior to trial.
Do You Get Good Results for Your Clients?
We do get good results for our clients. We have settled hundreds, if not thousands, of cases where we’ve had large settlements. We’ve had substantial verdicts. We go to the mat for our clients if necessary. We’ll appeal cases. We’ll do whatever it takes to make sure our client is taken care of.
