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 Injury Case Is Worth in Colorado Springs?
There are a variety of things we look at when evaluating your case and determining its value.
We look at how the accident occurred: How did someone else’s carelessness lead to the accident? Did your actions also contribute to the crash?
We also 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 due to the accident, you may not be able to find a job very easily in the future.
These are only some of the factors that we look at in evaluating a claim. You may have additional losses to account for in a claim, and sometimes additional evidence or expert witnesses will be needed to support an evaluation.
At Heuser & Heuser, LLP, we can identify those factors during a free case evaluation, during which you tell us your story so we can take the first step in building a legal strategy at no financial risk to you.
Every case is unique and different. That’s why our lawyers at Heuser & Heuser, LLP give each case personal attention during case reviews and evaluations for potential claims.

Why is it Important to Hire a Lawyer for a Personal Injury Claim in Colorado Springs?
Insurance companies are in business for a reason: to make money.
Anytime the insurance company is 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 stand up for your interests and seek proper compensation on your behalf.
