What To Do After an Uber/Lyft Accident

After an Uber/Lyft accident, the first thing to do is seek immediate medical attention. Seeing a doctor right away not only protects your health, it also creates medical records that connect your injuries to the crash.

The next step is to report the accident through the app and collect information. Get names and insurance information from all involved parties and take photos to document the crash and your injuries.

Then, contact an attorney. The process for collecting compensation for the damages from the accident can be complicated and draining. Both insurance companies and rideshare companies want to pay out as little as possible after an accident.

Make sure you get what is owed to you by working with a personal injury attorney who has experience in managing the aftermath of an Uber/Lyft accident.
