Being a part of an Uber accident may be a frustrating and anxious experience. Knowing what actions to do after a crash is important. Your safety should come first. Check to see if you were injured. It's advisable to get medical help even if there aren't any obvious wounds because certain injuries could take time to manifest.
Reporting the accident entails calling the police and making sure a formal report is submitted. Per Pennsylvania law, every accident resulting in an injury or substantial property damage must be reported.
Let Uber know by using their app. Uber has a procedure in place for accidents, and using the app to report one starts their insurance claim process.
Take notes at the scene including the name, phone number, insurance information, and information on any other drivers who may be involved with the Uber driver. Take pictures of the accident site, documenting the locations of the vehicles, the damage, and any pertinent traffic signals or street signs.
After the accident, use caution when speaking with anyone other than your Uber accident lawyer. Refrain from acknowledging guilt or saying anything that could be used against you in court. Remain true to the facts and avoid making assumptions about what caused the disaster.
