If I was a passenger in a Uber vehicle and involved which was involved in an accident, what steps should I take after the accident?

Obviously, a person should promptly seek medical attention. Legally, it is important not to give any statements to any insurance company or investigator retained by another party and/or insurance carrier. Obtain the name and information contained in the vehicle and ask to copy or make a photo of the license of each driver involved in the accident. If possible, obtain the names and addresses of all witnesses including the passengers in each vehicle. Ask your driver for his insurance card and make a copy of the card. Obtain the police accident report of possible. Always try to obtain the plate numbers for each car involved in the accident. Take photos of any damage to the vehicle and any skid marks, (or lack of skid marks) if possible.

Most often in serious accidents you were likely taken to the hospital after the accident and may have received at least some preliminary medical attention. If you require surgery, it is very important, if medically possible to locate a physician who is very experienced in the particular type of medical issue that must be addressed.
