Steps After a Rideshare Accident

Answer:

After a rideshare accident injury as a passenger, the initial thing that most people want to do is start conversing with the driver of the vehicle about their injuries. I would encourage people to refrain from doing so. Remember that that individual who was driving when the accident occurred has an incentive to minimize their involvement in that accident and, more so, has an incentive to minimize your injuries. I would recommend not discussing your injuries with the Uber or Lyft driver. Anything you say can be used against you.
