What you Should Know
Rideshare apps like Uber have changed how people travel across Arizona cities like Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Lake Havasu City. But what happens when that convenience ends in a crash? Whether you’re a rideshare passenger, pedestrian, or another driver, you could be entitled to compensation—but navigating Uber accident claims requires specific legal insight.
Here’s what to do if you’re injured in an Uber crash in Arizona.
- Call 911 Immediately
Your safety is the top priority. Call 911 even if injuries appear minor. Request police and medical assistance. A formal police report is a vital piece of evidence for any personal injury claim.
- Gather Key Information at the Scene
If it’s safe, collect as much evidence as possible:
- Uber driver’s name, license plate, and insurance
- Contact info of all involved drivers and witnesses
- Photos of vehicles, visible injuries, and surroundings
- Screenshots of your Uber trip details
This documentation helps support your claim and clarifies your passenger status.
- Get Medical Attention—Even If You Feel “Okay”
Injuries like whiplash, soft tissue trauma, or concussions may not show symptoms right away. Early treatment links the injury directly to the crash, which is essential for your case.
- Understand Who Is Liable
Liability in Uber crashes can involve:
- The Uber driver
- Another negligent driver
- Uber’s corporate insurance (up to $1M coverage when the ride is active)
- In rare cases, a manufacturer or city (defective parts or unsafe roadways)
Your Arizona personal injury attorney can determine all possible responsible parties.
- Don’t Deal with Insurance Adjusters Alone
Insurance companies often try to settle fast and for less. Do not give a statement or sign paperwork until you’ve consulted a lawyer.
