What to Do After Getting in an Accident With an Uber?
If you've been involved in an accident with an Uber, it's crucial to take the following steps for your safety and legal protection. First, ensure everyone's well-being by calling for medical assistance if necessary. Contact the local authorities to report the accident and request a police report. Document the scene with photos or videos of the damage and gather contact information from all parties involved, including the Uber driver and any passengers. Additionally, note the Uber driver's name, license plate number, and insurance information.
Notify your own insurance company about the accident, even if you were not at fault. Uber's insurance may also come into play, so it's wise to report the incident to them through the app or their designated channels. Seek legal counsel with the professionals at Wattel & York if you face complications in obtaining compensation for your injuries or damages.
