Our St. Petersburg accident doctors treat injuries from Uber and Lyft accidents. We have 20 years experience treating personal injury cases.
If you’ve been injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, getting medical care as soon as possible is one of the most important steps you can take. Doctor Baker and his team in St. Petersburg, Florida provide comprehensive treatment for rideshare accident injuries. This includes chiropractic care, rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, and referrals to specialists. Whether you are a rideshare passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, we can help you begin your recovery.
Uber and Lyft have become a common way to travel throughout St. Petersburg, whether you’re heading to downtown, the beaches, Tampa International Airport, or a sporting event. With thousands of rides taking place every day, accidents involving rideshare vehicles are becoming more common.
Some of the busiest roads where these crashes occur include:
These roadways experience heavy traffic throughout the day, especially during rush hour, weekends, and the busy tourist season. Whether you were riding in an Uber or Lyft or your vehicle was struck by one, Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance may cover your medical treatment. However, Florida law requires you to seek medical care within 14 days of the accident to qualify for PIP benefits.
Uber and Lyft accident claims are often more complicated than traditional car accidents. Doctor Baker understands these types of cases and will make sure your injuries are evaluated and documented. If your case requires legal assistance, our office can also refer you to an experienced St. Petersburg personal injury attorney who handles rideshare accident claims.
Uber and Lyft treatment is based on what you injuries are. You may not need specialized care, but we offer it at our St. Petersburg location. You will start out with an injury evaluation with Doctor Baker. At your first appointment we will sit down and explain the treatment process and provide a plan. This is often called a treatment plan. This plan will include how many office visits you may need to recover from your injury. However, plans change based on your recovery. You may need 6 weeks of care or 3 months. This depends on your injuries and how you heal from them.
Chiropractic Care is the number #1 choice for soft tissue injuries.
Physical Therapy may be necessary to restore function and range of motion
You may need to see an Orthopedic physician for broken bones or spinal conditions.
Injections and medication to manage pain associated with your back injuries

Medical Evaluations by a Doctor to determine the extent of your injuries
Rideshare accidents can cause a lot of confusion with the claims process. We understand the process and know how to help you get the treatment and the services you need after one. Keep in mind that some injuries do not cause pain the day of your rideshare accident. We recommend you come see us immediately. In some, not all cases, pain may not start until hours or days after the collision. This is due to adrenaline. After the adrenaline wears off, that’s when the pain and inflammation start.
