Gathering evidence after your Uber accident differs from collecting evidence for any other car accident. There is some evidence in San Diego Uber cases that is unique. You may need to act quickly, since certain evidence can disappear soon after the accident.
After an accident, you should contact our rideshare attorneys. At Singleton Schreiber Injury Attorneys, we give you advice on collecting the medical reports and other documents you need to support your insurance claim against Uber. We also explain how to present this evidence in a way that supports fair compensation.
What Evidence Do You Need After Your Uber Accident?
It can be difficult to think about collecting evidence right after your Uber accident in San Diego. If you are able, you should collect this evidence yourself. If you are not able, ask someone at the scene to do it for you. Some Uber-related information you should have includes:
- A screenshot of your Uber receipt: This shows your driver’s name and Uber number, the date and time of your ride, and whether the driver was active on the app, which is essential for showing you were a passenger and that the driver was taking you to your destination
- The Uber accident report: Screenshot or download this report before submitting it, ensuring you have evidence of this part of the claims process in your records
- The driver’s name and contact information: Uber drivers must have their own liability insurance as well as Uber’s coverage
- Photos of the accident scene: These should include the interior of the Uber vehicle
In addition to this evidence, you may need other documents, such as your medical reports, police reports, and witness statements. Our attorneys could assist you in collecting and assembling this information for your insurance claim.
Reporting Your Accident to Uber
You must report the accident to the rideshare company to begin the claims process. Contact our San Diego Uber accident attorneys before you file any evidence or documentation. Even if you do not plan to hire a lawyer, we could review your claim to ensure you do not make any statements of fault or liability.
Since rideshare drivers often drive for both Uber and Lyft, confirm which company you were using before you file any claims. Our attorneys may also advise you on this to ensure you have the proper company identified in your claim.
