How to handle a situation where my rideshare driver has an accident?

Over the last few years, FOX 26 has covered several incidents involving rideshare drivers across the nation, including in Houston, being in vehicle accidents. Amid the holiday season, FOX 26 interviewed a personal injury lawyer regarding the steps to take if your rideshare driver gets into a crash. Juan Garcia, a personal injury attorney at Johnson Garcia Law, emphasized the importance of fastening your seatbelt before starting the ride. Garcia highlighted the significance of wearing a seatbelt as not doing so could result in being blamed for your injuries by the rideshare or other driver's insurance company if an accident occurs. Additionally, passengers are advised not to distract the driver and to ask them politely to focus on driving if they seem distracted by their phone or other activities.
