What Steps Should I Take After Being Injured in an Uber Accident in Tampa
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
Tampa, Florida, has lots of traffic and accidents. In 2023, Hillsborough County had over 27,000 car crashes. Rideshare services like Uber add to this problem. If you’re hurt in an Uber accident, follow these simple steps to stay safe and get help. We’ll explain everything in easy words.
Why This Matters in Tampa
- Tampa's busy roads, like I-275 and Dale Mabry Highway, see many crashes.
- Rideshare accidents are rising because more people use Uber.
- Florida laws make these cases tricky, but quick action helps you get money for injuries.
Step 1
- Make sure everyone is okay first.
- Dial 911 to get police and medical help from Tampa Fire Rescue.
- Florida law says you must report accidents with injuries.
- If on a road like Bayshore Boulevard, move your car if it's safe to avoid more crashes.
Step 2
- See a doctor within 14 days to use your insurance for up to $10,000.
- Go to places like Tampa General Hospital.
- Even small pains might be serious, like whiplash.
- Keep all doctor notes and bills—they prove your injuries.
Step 3
- Take pictures of cars, damage, and injuries with your phone.
- Get names and numbers from witnesses and the Uber driver.
- Screenshot Uber app details to show the trip was happening.
- Tell Uber about the crash through their app.
Step 4
- Contact your insurance and Uber's.
- Don't say you're at fault—it could lower your money.
- Florida rules reduce your payout if you're partly to blame.
- Accidents in Tampa often involve other drivers or bad roads.
Step 5
- Uber cases are hard because of different insurance levels (up to $1 million sometimes).
- You have 2 years to file a claim in Florida.
- We at Kaiser Romanello give free advice and fight for your money, like medical bills and lost pay.
