What should I do if I’m injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft in the United States?

If you are injured as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, your first priority should be safety and medical care. Contact 911 to report the accident and request emergency assistance if needed. A police report serves as important documentation in rideshare claims. Seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor, as some conditions may not show symptoms or may worsen over time.

Be sure to collect and preserve the driver’s name, license plate number, and insurance information, along with screenshots from the rideshare app showing trip details. Avoid giving recorded statements to any insurance representatives before consulting an attorney. Legal counsel can help protect your rights and handle the communications moving forward.
