What Should I Do If an Uber Driver Injures Me?

Posted Jun 7, 2023

If you’ve been injured in an accident involving an Uber driver, there are several steps you should take to protect yourself and your rights:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health is your first priority. Even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured, some injuries may not become apparent immediately after the accident. A medical professional can help identify any injuries and start necessary treatment, and the medical records they produce can also serve as important evidence later on.
  2. Call the Police: Report the accident to the police, especially if there are significant injuries or property damage. The police will create a report that documents the incident, which can be crucial evidence in your claim.
  3. Document the Scene: If you’re able, take pictures or video of the accident scene, the vehicles involved, and any visible injuries you have. Also, take note of the exact location, time, and circumstances of the accident.
  4. Collect Information: Get the contact and insurance information of all parties involved in the accident, including the Uber driver. If there were any witnesses to the accident, get their contact information as well.
  5. Notify Uber: Report the accident to Uber through the app. Don’t provide a detailed statement or admit fault; just let them know that an accident occurred.
  6. Consult a Lawyer: Rideshare accident claims can be complicated due to the involvement of large companies like Uber and their insurance providers. An experienced personal injury lawyer can guide you through the process, deal with the insurance companies on your behalf, and work to get you the compensation you deserve.
  7. Avoid Social Media: Be careful not to post about the accident on social media, as anything you say can potentially be used against you in your claim.

Remember, every situation is unique, and this list is not exhaustive. Depending on the circumstances, there may be other steps you need to take or other parties you need to notify. Always consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.
