Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors, which can affect whether Uber may be held liable for a driver’s conduct. However, Uber may still face liability depending on the facts of the case. Our Colorado Springs Uber accident attorneys will examine issues such as the driver’s status on the Uber platform and whether there is evidence of independent negligence by another party. This will help us understand how to pursue the correct parties for your damages.  Colorado also follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be partly to blame, this means that damages can be reduced according to your fault. Recovery is not permitted when your negligence equals or exceeds that of the party from whom recovery is sought. Colorado Springs Uber Accident Lawyer Near Me [(719) 520-9909](tel:+17195209909) ## When Uber May Be Liable for an Accident Colorado has specific rules governing [transportation network companies](https://puc.colorado.gov/tnc) such as Uber. The insurance available after a crash can depend on what the driver was doing through the Uber platform at the time of the collision.  The driver’s status at the time of your accident can determine how much of Uber’s insurance coverage may be available to you. When an Uber driver is logged into the app and has accepted a ride, **Uber**’**s $1 million in primary liability coverage** may apply. A lower level of coverage applies when the driver is logged into Uber but has not yet accepted a ride. During this period, Colorado requires primary coverage with limits of at least $50,000 for one person’s injuries and $100,000 for injuries in one accident. [Click to contact our Rideshare Accident Lawyers in Colorado Springs today](/contact-us/) ## When the Driver May Be Responsible for a Crash If the driver was not logged into Uber’s digital network, the rideshare-specific coverage provisions usually do not apply. Your claim will instead proceed under **the driver**‘**s ordinary automobile insurance** and other applicable sources of coverage. There may also be additional responsible parties. For example, another motorist’s negligence may have contributed to the collision. Our Uber accident lawyers in Colorado Springs will file your claim and seek the compensation you need from all responsible parties.
