Understanding Your Rights

Rideshare companies have comprehensive insurance policies, but understanding your rights and the intricate details of these policies requires specialized knowledge. Whether you’re a passenger involved in a collision, a rideshare driver, or a third party injured in an accident with a rideshare vehicle, it’s crucial to know that you have rights and are entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other related damages.

Immediate Steps to Take

If you find yourself in an Uber or Lyft accident, there are several critical steps you should take:

1. Seek Medical Attention: The health and safety of all parties involved should be your top priority. Even if you believe your injuries are minor, it’s essential to get a professional medical evaluation, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

2. Report the Accident: Ensure the accident is reported to the police as well as to Uber or Lyft through their app. This documentation is vital for your claim.

3. Gather Information: Collect as much information as possible, including driver details, vehicle information, insurance details, and contact information of any witnesses.

4. Document Everything: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damages to personal property. This evidence will be crucial for your claim.
