Passenger Rights In Ohio
If you ride as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft during a crash, Ohio law protects you. You deserve full payment for your medical expenses and lost wages because you did not cause the accident.
Most rideshare companies carry high-value insurance policies that cover passengers when their driver is working. We will help you understand these layers to ensure you receive the maximum amount of money available for your recovery.
What To Do After A Rideshare Accident
Whether a rideshare driver hit your car or struck you while you walked down the street, your actions after a crash matter. You must act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your health. Follow these steps to ensure you have the best chance at a successful legal claim:
- Move to a safe location and check everyone for injuries.
- Call the police so an officer can create an official accident report.
- Take photos of the vehicle damage, the surrounding scene and your visible injuries.
- Collect the contact information and insurance details of all drivers involved.
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine.
Taking these steps creates a clear record of the incident and links your injuries directly to the crash.
Common Injuries After A Rideshare Accident
Victims often suffer from whiplash, broken bones and spinal cord damage after a crash. In extreme collisions, some people can sustain traumatic brain injuries.
These injuries require expensive treatments and long-term care that can drain your savings. We fight to recover money for your past and future medical bills, lost income and the physical pain you endure.
