After an Uber or Lyft crash, the timeline matters. Evidence gets lost, memories fade, and insurers often move quickly. If you want your case to be stronger later, focus on these immediate actions:
- Get medical care promptly (even if symptoms seem minor). In New Mexico, documented treatment helps connect injuries to the crash.
- Write down your incident details while they’re fresh: where you were, how the crash happened, what you remember about speeds/traffic signals, and how you felt afterward.
- Preserve rideshare proof: take screenshots or save any trip details you can access (time, route, and driver info).
- Document the scene if you can do so safely: vehicle position, traffic control (lights/signs), roadway conditions, and any visible damage.
If you’re using an AI-assisted intake tool, it can help you organize this information into a usable timeline. But treat it as a memory and organization aid—not as legal advice.
