Whether you are a frequent or an occasional passenger with rideshare services, it is important to know what steps you should take if you are injured in an accident while riding in an Uber or Lyft. Here’s what you should do:
Get Medical Treatment – Call 911 if necessary. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, it is always a good idea to get checked out by a professional chiropractor after being involved in an auto accident. Even if you feel ok, many injuries can take a few days to show symptoms. An experienced car accident chiropractor can help you heal as quickly as possible without medications and invasive surgeries.
Call The Police – No matter who was at fault for the accident, always get a police report made and remember to request a copy.
Take Photos – Document the damage to the vehicles involved by taking as many photos as possible.
Collect Information – Obtain the insurance information from the drivers of the vehicles involved, as well as, the names and contact information from anyone who witnessed the accident.
Inform the Rideshare Company – Go back to the rideshare app and report the accident to the rideshare company, so that they can record the incident. (links below)
Do I need an attorney before I can get treatment?

Most individuals in an accident make the mistake of assuming they are fine after impact if no pain is felt right away. Just because you are not feeling pain, does not mean you are OK. Damage to muscles, joints, and spine typically hurt, but there is no guarantee. Some damage is just small enough where no pain is felt, but this damage tends to get aggravated and worsen over time if left untreated. We have seen many patients come to us weeks, months, even a year after an accident in serious pain. Unable to work, sleep and do the things they love, because they felt no pain after their car accident, and went on with their daily lives.
