Last updated on January 11, 2024
Ridesharing is an incredibly popular mode of transportation in Southern California, and rideshare services have a reputation for being convenient and safe.

Injured In An Uber Or Lyft Accident? What Do You Do Next?
The legal landscape surrounding rideshare accidents is constantly evolving. That is why you need experienced legal guidance like the kind we offer at Hannegan & Tafreshi Injury Law, P.C.. If you are hurt in a rideshare accident:
- Stay calm and call 911 immediately. Do not allow the driver to talk you out of contacting the authorities. The police report can be valuable evidence as you pursue your claim.
- If you were a rideshare passenger, report the accident to Uber or Lyft through your ridesharing app. That helps create an additional record of the accident.
- Seek medical attention for your injuries as soon as possible. This will not only protect your health and well-being, but the medical records also can be used to directly tie your injuries to the accident.
- Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries, whenever possible. Photos are compelling evidence in a claim.
Uber and Lyft may attempt to avoid accepting liability for an accident. They are far more concerned about their reputation and their profits than they are about their customers. This can leave injury victims who don’t have strong legal representation with reduced compensation or less than they deserve.
