  Absolutely. We actually did a video not too long ago explaining each period and when you're covered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZN9JHwjLu8

  It feels inconvenient at the time, but it really does make a difference. Plus they're trained to know what to file and how to handle the accident report.

  #3 is tough and we understand situations happen where you can't always do what you should.  Yes, "Unless told to do so" would be dictated by law enforcement.  Really our focus is to make sure drivers get enough information to have them covered and these are the best steps to do that. We made this checklist after we noticed a trend of drivers not gathering enough information after an accident.

  Different cities have different names for them, but in Chicago Divvy is a bike rental like Lime Bikes or Motivate. 

  
  

  LegalRideshare's focus is mostly geared toward rideshare issues, however we're always happy to see if we can help outside that scope and if not, can refer you to another firm.

  A lot of times yes. That's why it's important to get their info before they jump out and switch cars.
