Uber and Lyft accidents: what to know

Practical steps if you were hurt as a passenger, driver or another person on the road.

Rideshare accidents can involve several parties: the rideshare driver, the company, other drivers and their insurers.

Take screenshots of the trip in the app: the driver's name, vehicle, route and time. This information can be hard to recover later.

Report the accident in the app and keep a copy of any messages or case numbers you receive.

As with any accident, get medical care, ask for a police report, take photos and collect witness information.

Insurance coverage may depend on whether the driver was waiting for a request, on the way to pick someone up, or carrying a passenger. Avoid assumptions until you understand your situation.
