Preserve your activity record as a driver
Keep available records showing whether you were offline, waiting for a request, heading to a pickup, or carrying a passenger. Save the trip details and any relevant platform messages. If you used more than one app, preserve the actual activity information rather than assuming one booking tells the entire story.
Maintain copies of your personal insurance documents, any rideshare-related coverage information, and letters from the companies reviewing the collision. The existence of an app does not settle how each policy applies. Bring any coverage decision in full so its stated reason can be examined.
Separate vehicle damage records from treatment expenses and work records. If you missed driving time, keep existing earnings statements and a factual account of the interruption. Do not calculate lost income by assuming every hour would have produced the same earnings. Your consultation can address which questions require additional evidence.
How Hoffman Legal can help you start
A consultation is an opportunity to explain the collision, identify the people involved, and review questions about trip activity and insurance. Share what you know and flag details that are uncertain. Your next steps depend on your circumstances.
- Passengers: bring the trip receipt, booking details, and your own account.
- Rideshare drivers: preserve app activity and the policy information you have.
- Other road users: keep vehicle details, scene information, and witness contacts.
For emergencies, call 911. Seek appropriate care for injuries and save the documents you receive. Do not put yourself at risk to gather evidence.
