A trip or platform record can preserve information about a rideshare trip, but it does not establish responsibility, coverage, medical causation, or a claim outcome.

Keep the trip information with its source

  • Date, time, trip confirmation, route or pickup information, driver and vehicle identifiers shown in the app, and the source of each item
  • Screenshots, messages, receipt, platform support contact, report number, and whether an item was created before or after the event
  • A platform record kept separate from an agency report, witness account, insurance communication, or personal recollection
  • Unavailable or changing app information noted without recreating it from memory

Preserve general accident records too

The North Carolina Department of Insurance’s After an Accident checklist recommends recording relevant information after an accident. The appropriate next step can vary with the event, health needs, policy terms, and available records.

Questions arising from a rideshare crash may be considered in a North Carolina rideshare-accident claim, which requires a fact-specific review.
