3. Once you check yourself, check on others involved in the accident including in your Uber and in the other car if there is one involved. If someone is injured, unless you are properly trained, be sure not to give any medical aid.
4. Call 911 to report any serious injuries and/or damage to vehicles. Often, it is better to be safe than sorry. If someone may seem hurt, it is better to call and have emergency medical professionals come out to verify their condition. Also, if they are available, it is crucial to have the police come out to document what happened during the Uber accident.
5. Collect all contact information from the Uber driver, anyone in your car, and anyone in the other car if there is one. Make sure to gather all insurance information from all drivers as well. Typically, if the police come to the accident, an officer will take everyone’s information and will give each person involved in the Uber accident an information exchange form. Make sure to keep track of that document.
6. Collect the contact information of any witnesses including their names, phone numbers, and addresses.
7. Take pictures of the damage of the vehicle you are in and if there is another vehicle or vehicle involved, take photos of those other vehicles as well.

9. Write down exactly what happened during the accident. As time goes on, the memories of what happened can fade and small details can be forgotten. Details are very important.
10. If you feel any type of pain after the Uber accident, schedule an appointment with a qualified and experienced medical provider. Even if you do not feel pain immediately after the Uber accident, it is in your best interested to see a medical provider just to rule out any potential medical issues. Your health is important.
