If you’re an Uber driver, then you’ll be all too aware of the importance of good accident management. Even if you’re the safest driver in the world, sooner or later you’re likely to run into someone who isn’t, and the best way to deal with that situation is to be prepared.
Today, we’ll be discussing what to do when you have an accident, how you can prepare for it, and what Pearl Assistance can do to help.
The first step towards good accident management for any Uber driver is to have a checklist, be it mental or physical.
First up on that checklist should be injuries. You’ll want to make sure that you and everyone else in the vehicle are unharmed. If anyone is harmed, you’ll need to call emergency services as soon as possible.
This is also why it’s important to carry a first aid kit as well as a battery pack and charger.
Next, you’ll need the number of a first-rate accident management company like Pearl Assistance, so make sure to save our number in your contacts.
Another great preparation step you can take is to install a dashcam. Dashcams are quickly becoming standard as they are a gold mine for evidence for non-fault accidents. In 2025, a dashcam is a central pillar for effective Uber driver accident management.
Following an accident, you absolutely need to get the details of everyone involved. Get names, contact details and, most importantly, vehicle registration (number plate). You should also make sure to take some photos of the scene so that you have documented as much as possible.
Be aware that some drivers may attempt to leave without giving you their contact details, especially if they’re responsible, so don’t hesitate to get your phone out.
It’s worth noting that Uber also request that you contact them after completing all necessary safety checks and notifying police/paramedics if need be.
