Accidents can catch us off guard and bring about unexpected challenges. Recently, former Nebraska volleyball star and current Huskers assistant coach Jordan Larson shared her experience of being involved in an Uber accident in Paris after the Olympics. In this post, we’ll explore the key takeaways from Larson’s incident and offer practical advice on what steps you should take if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
Jordan Larson, who played a key role in Team USA’s silver medal win at the Paris Olympics, recently took to Instagram to discuss her Uber accident. Larson revealed that their Uber driver collided with a pole, resulting in a scar on her right eye. Despite the mishap, Larson reported feeling “pretty good” and chose to share her story to avoid repeating it upon her return to Nebraska.
Larson’s teammate, Micha Hancock, also sustained injuries, including a swollen and bruised eye. Hancock praised Larson for her immediate support following the accident, underscoring the importance of timely care and assistance in such situations.
While Larson’s accident occurred overseas, the steps she took are relevant for personal injury cases in Nebraska. Here’s a guide on what to do if you’re involved in a similar accident:
Seek Medical Attention: No matter how minor you think your injuries are, always get a medical evaluation. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, so it’s crucial to have a professional assess your condition.
Document the Accident: Capture photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damage. Collect contact details from witnesses and other involved parties. Proper documentation is essential for any future legal claims.
Report the Incident: Notify the appropriate authorities about the accident. This may involve filing a police report or informing your insurance company. Accurate reporting helps establish an official record of the accident.
Notify Your Insurance Company: Inform your insurance provider about the accident and review your coverage. In Nebraska, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance may cover some of your medical expenses and related costs.
Consult with a Personal Injury Attorney: If you’re considering legal action or need assistance with the insurance process, reach out to a personal injury attorney. An experienced lawyer can offer guidance on your rights and help you pursue any necessary compensation.
