What to Do After a Ridesharing Accident in Sacramento, CA

The immediate aftermath of any type of motor vehicle collision in Sacramento can be hectic, chaotic, and all-around overwhelming—especially so for ridesharing crashes. It is crucial that you know how to protect your best interests. Here are four things to do after a ridesharing crash in California: 

1. Ensure that the Accident is Reported, Document the Scene: The first step in dealing with a ridesharing accident in Sacramento, CA is to make sure that the accident is reported to the proper authorities. California law requires that motorists report an injury crash to law enforcement. Even if you are a ridesharing passenger, it is crucial that your accident is reported. You should also document the scene. Take photographs and get contact information for any witnesses. 
2. Seek Immediate Medical Care (Emergency Needs Come First): All ridesharing accident injuries—whether sustained by a driver, a pedestrian, or a passenger—should be evaluated by a skilled physician. Of course, emergency medical needs must come first. Beyond that, non-emergency injuries should still be checked out. You cannot bring a personal injury claim in California without seeing a doctor. 
3. Notify the Ridesharing Company of the Crash: Once you have sought medical attention, contact the ridesharing company and inform them of the accident. You do not have to have all of the information at this time. Simply provide notice of the collision to the ridesharing company in question, whether it is Uber, Lyft, Doordash, or any other business. 
4. Consult With a Sacramento Personal Injury Lawyer: Neither the major ridesharing companies nor their commercial insurance providers are on your side. You need a reliable advocate in your corner. Consult with a Sacramento personal injury attorney who has experience handling ridesharing accident claims as soon as possible after a collision. 

An Overview of California’s Ridesharing Insurance Standards

California law provides specialized insurance protections to ridesharing passengers. The California Department of Insurance explains that all ridesharing companies that accept passengers—Uber, Lyft, etc—are required to provide an adequate commercial insurance policy that covers that ridesharing vehicle while it is in commercial service. These policies are a minimum of $1 million in commercial insurance coverage per incident, as well as additional coverage for uninsured and underinsured motorists.

It’s important to note that these insurance standards only apply when the driver is logged into the transportation network company (TNC) platform and actively engaged in a ride. If the driver is not logged into the platform or is between rides, they are typically covered by their personal auto insurance policy. For this reason, ridesharing accidents in California can create some especially complex insurance situations. It is crucial that you have a qualified Sacramento, CA auto accident attorney on your side.
