Navigating the Legal Process After a Denver Rideshare Assault - Carabin Shaw Attorneys

While rideshare companies have done their best to advertise ease of use and safety, rideshare violent assaults can occur anywhere and at any time. Just as any community, Denver Colorado passengers are at risk for rideshare assault from drivers for both Uber and Lyft. Rideshare assault victims in Denver, Colorado are entitled to legal representation and full compensation for injuries suffered from Uber/Lyft drivers.

However, the process for winning that compensation is often confusing and complex, especially for rideshare assault victims. By working with expert assault legal professionals, such as the Dever assault attorneys at Carabin Shaw, you can ensure that you will win your absolute maximum compensation in the aftermath of your attack.

While statistics for rideshare safety have been limited in the past due to a lack of government oversight, both Uber and Lyft have been required to publish those statistics transparently in the last several years. Between Uber’s safety report and Lyft’s safety report, information was shared for over 13,000 instances of sexual assault and nearly 50 instances of fatal physical assaults.

Rideshare passengers are also likely experiencing sexual assault, physical violence, and other forms of unwanted physical contact at rates higher than these safety reports claim. Many instances of sexual assault unfortunately go unreported because Uber and Lyft’s reports do not include non-fatal physical assault. By working with Denver CO rideshare assault attorneys you can fight for the financial compensation, and legal justice, that you are entitled to as a victim of rideshare physical assault.

A trusted attorney will communicate with insurance companies on your behalf, gather evidence for your injury claim, ensure that no step is missed while filing your claim, and guarantee that you win your maximum possible compensation.

1. The rideshare driver owed you a duty of safety
2. The driver was negligent in perform that duty of safety, or acted against it
3. You suffered direct harm due to the driver’s actions
4. The harm you sustained resulted in costs to you that should be compensated
