What to Do If You Are Seriously Injured in an Uber/ Lyft Accident

If you are seriously injured in an Uber/Lyft accident, there are legal actions you can take. Whether you were the driver or passenger in the Uber/Lyft, or a driver or passenger in the other vehicle, you have options. If you have been seriously injured, we recommend reaching out to us immediately in any of these circumstances. Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Your health should be your top priority after an Uber/Lyft accident. Head to an emergency room or call 911 immediately to ensure you receive proper medical care.

2. Call Law Enforcement

Filing a police report is essential for documenting an Uber Lyft accident. When you are involved in such an accident, it’s crucial to contact law enforcement right away. Provide accurate details to the responding officers to ensure that the police report reflects the true circumstances of the accident. This official documentation can be critical for your insurance claim and any legal proceedings that may follow. A detailed and accurate police report will include information about the parties involved, the location and time of the accident, witness statements, and any visible injuries or property damage. Ensuring that all details are correctly recorded can significantly strengthen your case and help you secure the compensation you deserve after an Uber Lyft accident.

3. Use Your Cellphone to Take Pictures and Gather Evidence

If you can do so, gathering evidence at the scene is helpful. Take pictures of:
  • Vehicles
  • Identification information
  • Registration information
  • Insurance information
Be sure to collect witness information and jot down any personal observations that might be relevant to the case.
