What To Do After An Accident With Uber
After an Uber accident, your immediate actions can influence your physical and financial recovery. If you want to protect your health and rights, here are some recommendations on what you can do:
- Prioritize your safety. It’s best to check yourself for injuries first and avoid moving too much if there are risks of severe injury. If possible, move to a safer location, away from traffic.
- Call 911 right away. The dispatcher can send paramedics to take care of the injured and the local authorities to control the situation and make a police report.
- If you can, exchange contact and insurance information with other parties, including the Uber driver and witnesses, if any.
- Take as many photos and videos of the accident scene as possible. Visual evidence can help investigators and lawyers understand how the accident happened and the extent of the damage.
- Consider getting further medical attention, even if you feel fine. Some injuries might not be immediately apparent but could have serious consequences if not treated.
- Report to Uber. If you’re a passenger, you can do so via the app. If you’re a third party (another driver, pedestrian, etc.), you can file a report online.
- Consult with Arash Law if you have any concerns about your legal rights and what you can do to get compensation. Our San Diego Uber accident lawyers offer free legal advice. Call (888) 488-1391 to learn more.
