Uber and Rideshare Accidents in Colorado

The O’Sullivan Law Firm, led by top attorney Scott O’Sullivan, has spent over 14 years securing justice for victims of Uber accidents in Colorado. Our proven success and aggressive legal strategies make us the ultimate force in holding negligent parties accountable. With a relentless pursuit of maximum compensation, we ensure victims get the justice they deserve.

Ride-share vehicles—including everyday sedans, SUVs, and minivans used by companies like Uber and Lyft—have revolutionized transportation across the country. However, the rapid growth of this industry has also introduced new risks on public roadways. These vehicles, often driven under pressure to meet high demand, can be involved in serious collisions that result in life-altering consequences.

Driver negligence, distracted driving, fatigue, mechanical failures, and inadequate vehicle maintenance can create dangerous conditions leading to devastating crashes. Victims frequently suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, loss of limb, and, in the worst cases, wrongful death.

The aftermath of such an accident is overwhelming, but The O’Sullivan Law Firm refuses to let victims be ignored or mistreated by powerful ride-share corporations and insurance giants.

How The O’Sullivan Law Firm Fights for Victims

When a ride-share accident occurs in Colorado, we act fast, launching a comprehensive investigation to identify liable parties and build a strong case for maximum compensation. Our skilled attorneys work with top experts, meticulously review driver records, examine vehicle maintenance logs, and uncover any regulatory violations that indicate negligence.

We won’t let insurance companies minimize or deny rightful claims. Our firm negotiates aggressively and, when necessary, takes cases to trial to secure full and fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, long-term care, pain and suffering, and more. We understand the toll these accidents take—physically, financially, and emotionally. That’s why we provide not only legal representation but also a dedicated support system to guide our clients through these challenging times.

Recent Case Results

• Uber Passenger Traumatic Brain Injury: One client, a passenger in an Uber, suffered a traumatic brain injury when the Uber driver pulled out in front of two cars that were racing—both traveling in excess of 90 mph. We found evidence of the dangerous speeding, and the case ultimately settled for more than $1,000,000 between Uber and the two drivers involved.
• Cyclist Injured by an Uber Door: In another case, our client was riding his bike to work downtown when an Uber parked in a no-parking zone to let out its passengers. As the passengers opened the door, it struck our client, who was riding in the adjacent bike lane, knocking him off his bike and causing a head injury. This incident settled in excess of $500,000.
• Motorcycle Accident Involving an Uber: We also recently represented two separate motorcycle riders who were struck by Uber drivers who turned left directly in front of our clients. This is one of the most common accidents we see involving motorcycles. In both cases, we secured the full policy limits in excess of $1,000,000.

Evolving Wrongful Death Laws in Colorado

In the most heartbreaking cases, a ride-share accident can result in a tragic wrongful death, leaving families to suffer unimaginable grief and uncertainty. Colorado’s wrongful death laws have recently been strengthened to provide greater protections and clearer legal pathways for surviving family members. These changes include increased compensation caps and expanded rights for siblings and other relatives seeking justice for their loved ones.
