Post-Collision Checklist

If you are reading this article and have already been injured in a serious Uber accident, you have likely missed the opportunity to gather all the information provided here. However, after a rideshare crash, you will likely want to do the following actions:

Contact law enforcement and request that the police arrive at the scene of the crash to create a police report
If you can, try to obtain the name and contact information of any witnesses who were present at the time of the accident
Use your cell phone to take photos of the scene of the accident, including the license plates of the vehicles in the accident
Ask for the personal insurance information of your Uber or Lyft driver, as well as the insurance information for any other drivers involved in the crash
Take a screenshot of your trip in the Uber or Lyft app. That way you have a record of the time of the trip, the name of your driver, and confirmation that you were a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crash
Visit a physician, chiropractor, or physiotherapist to confirm the extent of your injuries and to make sure you have the proper treatment to recover from your injuries. The information from the doctor, chiropractor, or physiotherapist will also be used to determine the value of the compensation you are entitled to after your accident
Contact a New Jersey Uber accident lawyer to determine the value of the compensation you are entitled to and which lawyer you want to hire to resolve your case. It is important to note that hiring a personal injury lawyer is just another part of the process to ensure you are entitled to the settlement you deserve to cover the injuries you sustained in the collision.

Highly Recommend Matthew R. Romo, Jr., Esq. I had a truly outstanding experience working with Matthew R. Romo, Jr. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was his ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and informed every step of the way.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Great service provided from day 1. I would recommend to all friends and family.

hey hi, it's Keidaï

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:

Highly recommended! The process was long due to my case beginning when COVID started but rest assure this law firm was with me the whole time. The communication was great. Not one time was I ever disappointed in the process. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Kathleen and her team are amazing.
