Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit in Colorado
Last updated: November 3, 2026
For riders in Colorado who were sexually assaulted by an Uber driver, with Colorado's filing deadline for survivors. Lyft riders can ask too.
Riders allege that Uber did not do enough to protect passengers from its drivers. Federal cases are coordinated in MDL 3084 in the Northern District of California; a Colorado rider's case can be filed in the Colorado District Courts or in federal court. These are allegations being litigated, decided case by case. NuLegal reviews these claims at no cost and connects qualified claimants with trial counsel.
Colorado Filing Deadline for Survivors
Colorado has deadline rules of its own for adult survivors of sexual assault, set out on this page. Its usual injury deadline is 2 years.
Deadlines as stated on November 4, 2026, read from the statute.
Can reach a claim against a company
No time limit
When it applies: The claim is based on sexual misconduct: conduct for sexual arousal, gratification or abuse that is a first-degree misdemeanor or felony sex offense under title 18, article 3, part 3 or 4 (or a felony in article 6 or 7), or a listed federal offense.
Which incidents it covers: Claims accruing on or after 2022-01-01, and earlier claims whose prior limitations period had not run on 2022-01-01.
Who it reaches: The words of this rule can reach a claim against a company, not only against the person who did it. A review checks whether that includes Uber on your facts.
Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-103.7(1), (2), (6)
A deadline turns on the facts: when the ride was, and whether the claim is against Uber or against the driver. Some states also set a shorter deadline for an assault claim against the person who did it. Do not assume a deadline has passed. A review checks which rule applies before anything is filed.
Where a Colorado Case Is Filed
A Colorado claim can be brought in the Colorado District Courts, or in federal court, where the district covering Colorado is the District of Colorado.
A federal case is transferred into MDL 3084 before Judge Charles R. Breyer in the Northern District of California for coordinated pretrial work. That transfer groups cases that share common questions. It decides nothing about whether any of them has merit, and it does not mean a Colorado rider has to travel to California.
If it was a Lyft ride, the same kind of claim is coordinated separately, in MDL 3171. You can still ask for a review here.
