Side-impact and rear-end collisions often lead to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neck and back injuries, including whiplash and herniated discs<\/li>\n<li>Broken bones and soft-tissue injuries<\/li>\n<li>Traumatic brain injuries, which can show symptoms days after a crash<\/li>\n<li>Catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injury, paralysis, amputation, and severe burns<\/li>\n<li>Death, in the most serious crashes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Early medical care protects your health. It also creates a record that links your injuries to the crash. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t51-(v39)-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-1.1<\/a>, medical expenses are limited to the reasonable value of medically necessary care. Careful records of each visit matter. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iihs.org\/research-areas\/fatality-statistics\/detail\/state-by-state\">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety<\/a>, Georgia recorded 1,403 motor-vehicle crash deaths in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>Who May Be Responsible After a Rideshare Crash<\/h2>\n<p>Responsibility depends on who caused the crash and what the rideshare driver was doing in the app at the time. Possible responsible parties include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The other driver<\/strong>, if that driver&#8217;s negligence caused the crash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The rideshare driver<\/strong>, if that driver caused the crash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uber or Lyft<\/strong>, through the company&#8217;s insurance, when the law and facts allow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A vehicle or parts maker<\/strong>, when a defect may have added to the injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>App status matters. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t33-ch1-22-(v24)-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 33-1-24<\/a>, the company&#8217;s services cover the period a driver is logged on to the company&#8217;s digital network and available to accept a ride request until the driver is logged off, and the period a driver accepts a ride request until the driver completes the transaction or the ride is complete, whichever is later. Personal auto insurers may exclude coverage while a driver is logged on to the network. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t40-ch1-5-(v28a)-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-1-201<\/a>, a rideshare company is shielded from certain liability only if its own conduct meets the statute&#8217;s conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia also divides fault.

You recover nothing if you are 50 percent or more responsible.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do in the First Days After a Rideshare Accident<\/h2>\n<p>Get medical care, document the scene, and speak with a lawyer before you give any recorded statement.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Call 911 and ask for a police report.<\/strong> A report helps document how the crash happened.<\/li>\n<li><strong>See a doctor, even if you feel fine.<\/strong> Some injuries show up later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take photos.<\/strong> Capture the vehicles, the scene, road conditions, and visible injuries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exchange insurance and contact details.<\/strong> Note the app status and trip details if you know them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep a written log.<\/strong> Record symptoms, appointments, missed work, and expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your own policy may also help. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t33-ch1-22-(v24)-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 33-7-11<\/a>, Georgia auto policies must offer uninsured motorist coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Time limits apply.
