The most important thing is your health and long-term well-being. Seek care at an emergency room or see a doctor as soon as possible. Be sure to collect all test results and any information provided by the doctor’s office, urgent care, or hospital.
If you are involved in an Uber accident - whether you were a passenger or hit by the Uber driver - try to take a photo of the driver’s license and license plate. If you are too injured or disoriented to do so, don’t worry - your first priority should be getting medical attention.
Once you are safe and healthy, write down all the details about the accident. If you can do this at the scene, that’s ideal. Be sure to record the driver’s license, license plate, car make and model, car color, the intersection, and the direction each vehicle was traveling. Also note the events leading up to and during the accident, as well as what happened afterward. The sooner you document this information, the more accurate and helpful it will be.
Don’t wait to contact an attorney. A professional attorney knows exactly what to do to help you get the maximum compensation for your specific case. The longer you wait to reach out, the harder it can be to gather evidence, preserve important details, and protect your rights, which could ultimately limit the outcome of your case.
It’s possible in certain situations that you could sue both the Uber driver and Uber, the company. An experienced attorney can help you sort out the details and determine the proper direction your case should take.
An Uber accident attorney can help maximize your compensation by identifying all available sources of recovery, including Uber’s insurance and the driver’s personal policy. They gather evidence like accident reports, medical records, and witness statements to show the full extent of your injuries and losses. They also handle negotiations with insurance companies to help ensure you receive the full amount you’re entitled to.

Acting promptly helps ensure nothing critical is missed.
