I’m An Uber Driver Who Just Got Hit By Another Driver… Should I Hire An Attorney?

Location: West Palm Beach, Florida.

I was on my way to pick someone up driving southbound and as I was entering an intersection, a driver in a Toyota Avalon that was driving northbound turned left and hit me totaling the car I was driving, a financed 2021 Lexus RX350L registered to my partner with full coverage paid for by me.

I’m currently in the emergency room because ems thought I might have a concussion. I haven’t filed a claim yet with Uber. For additional context, I have Uber’s optional injury protection and their vehicle interruption coverage and my personal insurance is Progressive which is the same as Uber.

Some additional context: 8 years ago, my personal car was totaled after a driver ran a stop sign. I hired an attorney who’s an acquaintance of the family and we successfully sued the person’s insurance which was Progressive… I also had Progressive. I was not doing rideshare at the time though. I’m still in touch with the attorney. So, I’m wondering if I should contact him before filing a claim with Uber?

I really don’t know what to do. I’ve been doing Uber on and off for years and I’ve never caused an accident or been on the receiving end of one while doing Rideshare. I’m still really shaken up by it all and I still don’t know if I have a concussion or any other injuries but I do know that I shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s careless driving.

Any and all advice is much appreciated.
