WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM INVOLVED IN A RIDESHARE ACCIDENT?
Californians share the road with thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers each day. Accidents involving rideshare vehicles happen frequently and can cause devastation to everyone involved. If you are involved in a rideshare accident you need to act quickly to protect your rights.
If you are injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident you need to:
- Report the accident – If you are involved in an Uber or Lyft accident you need to report the incident to law enforcement and the rideshare company immediately. A delay in reporting the accident may impact your case.
- Collect evidence – If you are able, take pictures and videos at the scene of the crash. Gather as many details as possible including the names and contact information for any involved parties or witnesses.
- Seek medical treatment – If you are not taken to the hospital immediately, you still need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible after the accident. Many injuries are not obvious until days or weeks after a collision.
- Contact an attorney – You should always speak to an attorney before making any statements or agreeing to any settlements related to your case.
Regardless of the type of rideshare accident you are involved in, you should still follow these steps to help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
WHO IS LIABLE IN A RIDESHARE ACCIDENT?
Determining liability in a rideshare accident can be challenging without the help of an attorney. An insurance adjuster may try to downplay your injuries or put you at fault for the incident. The best way to determine who can be held legally responsible for your accident and injuries is by consulting with an experienced lawyer. A lawyer can investigate your claim to determine who was at fault and how to obtain compensation.
WHAT INSURANCE POLICIES APPLY IN AN UBER OR LYFT ACCIDENT?
Rideshare accidents are unique because of the different insurance policies which apply. Uber and Lyft maintain third-party liability insurance for their drivers while they are using the app. If applicable, these higher policy limits may help you secure a larger recovery.
Uber and Lyft carry up to $1,000,000 in liability coverage for their drivers when they are either en route to pick up a ride request or have picked up passengers. Holding negligent drivers and rideshare companies accountable, however, can be difficult. The first call you should make after an Uber or Lyft accident is to a rideshare injury lawyer.

DOG BITE INJURY ATTORNEY IN LOS ANGELES
FIGHTING FOR COMPENSATION ON BEHALF OF THE INJURED
Dogs might be man’s best friend, but when in the hands of the wrong caregiver, they can become unpredictable and dangerous. If you were bitten by a dog, you should file a personal injury claim to obtain compensation for the costs associated with the injury, such as medical treatment. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, our dog bite injury attorneys will fight on your behalf and hold the responsible party liable for your pain and suffering.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER BEING BITTEN BY A DOG?
The aftermath of a dog bite injury is similar to the steps one would take after being injured in a motor vehicle accident.
Here are the steps you should keep in mind if you are ever attacked by a dog:
- Seek medical attention right away: If you put off medical care or neglect to go to the doctor altogether, you are going to have a hard time obtaining compensation for your injuries. Moreover, not seeking medical care could potentially result in health complications, such as infection. You cannot assume all dogs are properly vaccinated, so be sure to prioritize a trip to the doctor.
- Swap phone numbers: Make sure to exchange phone numbers and other contact information with the dog’s owner or caregiver since you will need to be able to easily reach him or her in the coming days to inquire about their pet’s vaccination history.
- Witnesses at the scene: If anyone watched the dog bite injury occur, obtain their contact information before they leave the scene. They will be able to help back up your claim.
- File a report: People are often hesitant to file a report with animal control, but doing so can help prevent others from being bitten. It might even help the investigation regarding your own case.
You should also do your best to document your injury before and after treatment. Take pictures that show the healing process and keep a journal to note your pain level and inability to perform certain tasks or motions. A personal injury claim can take some time, so it is crucial to write down these details.
