✓ Phone charger
✓ Small notepad & pen
✓ Insurance company contact info
✓ Photos of your undamaged vehicle (update seasonally)

Pro tip: Store insurance docs and important numbers in your phone too, but always keep paper copies - phones don't always survive accidents.

Uber's terms and conditions rob couple of right to sue after devastating crash
When John and Georgia McGinty were seriously injured in an Uber accident, they thought they could hold the company accountable. But buried in the terms they agreed to was a clause forcing them into arbitration and out of a courtroom.

Unfortunately, this story is all too common. Big companies use the fine print to strip away consumer rights. But if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you still have options.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you understand your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Don't let a few unread words stop you from getting justice.

"We are horrified at what the court's decision suggests...Uber can avoid being sued in a court of law by injured consumers because of contractual language buried in a dozen-page-long user agreement."

Promptly seeking legal advice is crucial for timely claim filing, as it allows attorneys more time to work on the case, potentially leading to greater compensation for medical expenses and other financial losses incurred due to workplace accidents. https://bit.ly/2GwehTJ
