Colorado Uber/Lyft Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
CO Uber/Lyft assault lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Colorado, and 2) the severity of sexual assault injuries.
Colorado State Uber-Lyft Assault Claims
When all parties reside in Colorado, Uber/Lyft assault lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (CO Courts Website). The Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for rideshare company claims.
The State of Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Colorado Uber/Lyft lawyer can recover damages for sexual assault provided the plaintiff is less than 50% at fault. However, the passenger’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
10th Circuit Uber-Lyft Assault Claims in Colorado
Colorado is part of the Tenth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual Uber/Lyft assault lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Rideshare appeals are heard by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the sexual assault injuries are severe, claims can be filed in this court against drivers nationwide.
However, federal Uber/Lyft lawsuits filed in Colorado may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a sexual assault Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 10th Circuit Uber/Lyft assault compensation.)
