Injuries Common in Rideshare Crashes<\/h2>\n

Rideshare crashes can cause serious injuries, including traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. High-speed and side-impact collisions may be especially likely to cause harm of this kind.<\/p>\n

Some symptoms can appear hours or days after a crash. They may include headaches, dizziness, memory changes, or numbness. A prompt medical evaluation creates a record that ties these symptoms to the crash, and that record may matter later.<\/p>\n

Injuries sometimes get worse over time, even when they first seemed minor. Keep all follow-up visits. Tell your doctor about every symptom, even small ones, and describe how the crash happened.<\/p>\n

Only a doctor can explain what an injury means for your health and treatment. A catastrophic injury can change how a person works, lives, and cares for family. Our work on these claims focuses on documenting how the crash happened and who may be responsible.<\/p>\n
