Before you talk to anyone about fault or compensation, focus on the basics—because what you do early often affects whether your claim stays on track.
- Get medical care even if injuries feel “minor.” In Florida, delays can give insurers an opening to claim symptoms weren’t caused by the crash.
- Write down a timeline while it’s fresh: where you were picked up or dropped off, what the traffic conditions were like, and what you noticed about speed, lane position, or stops.
- Capture key details if you can: photos of the scene, vehicle damage, license plate/tags, cross streets, and any visible hazards.
- Save rideshare proof (trip info) if you have it in your app. That information can matter when insurers question whether the driver was on an active trip.
If you’re using an AI tool to help capture your story, treat it like a note-taking assistant—not the person who decides liability or coverage. The goal is to keep your facts consistent for later review by counsel.
