What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident in Durham
If you’ve been injured in an Uber or Lyft car accident in Durham, North Carolina, there are a few things you should do in order to stay safe and protect your legal rights:
- Call 911 — If you’ve been injured in a Lyft or Uber accident, call 911 right away and report the collision. Be sure to mention if you or anyone else has been injured.
- Seek medical attention — Seek medical attention immediately for any injuries. Sometimes you may be injured and not even be aware — internal injuries are common in auto accidents. Follow the directions of the medical first responders and go to the hospital if necessary.
- Talk with the police — Give a full statement to the law enforcement officer at the scene. Be honest and accurate and remember that anything you say or do can be used against you. The police report will be critical if you decide to pursue an Uber accident lawsuit or injury claim.
- Take photos — Document the crash scene with photographs, focusing on crash damage, debris, skid marks, and any other important evidence. Be sure to also take photos of any injuries.
- Talk with witnesses — Identify potential witnesses and be sure to get their contact information. Their testimony could be important in a potential Lyft or Uber accident claim or lawsuit.
- Contact Uber or Lyft — Use the Uber or Lyft app to report an accident with the rideshare company. These companies have their own insurance that may cover drivers and passengers, and it’s important to contact them right away.
- Talk with a Uber accident lawyer — You may be entitled to compensation if you’re injured in a Uber or Lyft accident, and you deserve justice. A Uber car accident attorney at Riddle & Brantley can advise you on your rights and help determine the best path forward for seeking compensation for your injuries.
