Frequently Asked Questions

What immediate steps should I take if I'm involved in an accident as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft?

First, ensure your safety by moving to a secure location. Then follow these steps:

  • Call 911 if there are any injuries.
  • Document the accident scene with photos if possible.
  • Gather contact information from the driver and any witnesses.
  • Notify the rideshare service through their app.
  • Do not leave the scene until you have all necessary information.
Should I seek medical attention even if I feel fine after a rideshare accident?

Yes, it is important to seek medical attention immediately after an accident, even if no injuries are apparent. Some injuries may not show symptoms immediately but could be serious. Getting a medical evaluation will also provide documentation that may be vital for any legal claims.

How can a personal injury lawyer assist me after an Uber or Lyft accident?

A personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case, clarify your legal rights, and represent you in dealings with insurance companies, including those of the rideshare company. They can help you secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as well as assist in dealing with complex rideshare and insurance laws.

What types of compensation might I be eligible for after a rideshare accident?

Compensation may include medical bills, lost income, damages for pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages in cases of gross negligence. The specifics depend on the details of the accident and the policies in place from the rideshare company and other drivers involved.

What should I do if my Uber or Lyft driver leaves the scene of the accident?

Document everything you can about the driver and the ride (driver’s name, license plate, make and model of the car, and any other relevant details). Report the incident to both the police and the rideshare company immediately. Contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss how to proceed with holding the driver accountable and filing for compensation.
