Get Help After an Uber, Lyft or Rideshare Accident
Rideshare accidents can involve personal auto insurance, app-based coverage and questions about whether the driver was offline, waiting for a ride, traveling to a passenger or carrying a passenger. Accident Connect USA helps organize the trip and crash details.
The app status can be an important fact
Coverage questions can depend on what the rideshare driver was doing in the app when the crash happened. Passengers, rideshare drivers, pedestrians and occupants of other vehicles can all have different factual situations.
Aline helps organize the first contact and, when appropriate, connects users with independent resources through the 1-800-NO-FAULT network.

Keep screenshots or receipts showing the trip, driver, route, pickup/drop-off or app status when those records are available to you.
Keep crash and insurance details
Save the police report, vehicle and driver information and communications from personal or rideshare insurers.
Document injuries and follow-up
Keep medical records and notes about symptoms, missed work or other limitations following the accident.
