Do you use Uber or Lyft?
Know what to do if you were involved in an accident while riding as an Uber or Lyft passenger.
These types of cases can be quite tricky. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
1. Pull over to a safe area and make sure everyone is okay.
2. Obtain as much information as possible about all the parties involved, including:
a. Name
b. Driver’s license
c. Insurance information
3. Take photos of the accident, including the vehicle damage and the surrounding area at the scene of the accident.
a. Don’t share your accident on social media as insurance companies may use anything you say against you in your claim.
Hiring an experienced lawyer who knows how to handle these types of cases will not only save you a lot of trouble, but also help you obtain the maximum recovery you need and deserve for your injuries. These cases involve many parties and may become complicated quickly. Rideshare companies have a duty of care to each and every passenger. The rideshare company can be held liable for your injuries if their driver was at fault for the accident.
