Have been hit by Uber twice as a pedestrian. Reported it to Uber support, I gave location and time. And they don’t care, support agents keep dropping and handing off the request because the know it will go nowhere. Where’s the regulation of rideshare accident reporting?

Have you asked the police to bring charges as a hit and run? I mean, if you can't get Uber to answer, pretty sure the cops can get them to do so.

Any reason you aren't reporting it to the police?

  Some people dont want to validate their existence or the bad laws that also exist on the statute books.

    It is better to ask for help from your constituency... unless you have private militia.

      I wasnt bought up to ask for help. It was beaten in to me by parents and teachers, to work things out myself, today that causes me significant cognitive dissonance which is legal torture and a way to make people self destruct. Besides why should other people know how I'm being done over?

        > It was beaten in to me by parents and teachers, to work things out myself And now you have to learn the counter-lesson the hard way. Doing things without help was not beaten in to me, but through formative experiences and temperament that's also my default. It's a difficult habit to break, but the most powerful people do break it (or never had it in the first place). One of the explicit duties of the police is to record and, if possible, to respond to civil and criminal infractions. A hit-and-run, or even a plain hit-and-stay is such an infraction. There's absolutely nothing wrong, and plenty of things right, with informing the appropriate people of an incident for which they have a duty to respond.

        I've witnessed and experienced Police criminality so dont lecture me! Utopia's dont exist, the state like religion or law like medicine is a utopia.

        It's advice, not a lecture. You seem to be extraordinarily cynical and conditioned based on your life experience so I won't try to give you any more advice based on my life experience. No one was talking about a utopia.

  lol police reports don't do anything but establish potential liability if the police ever take any action. have had laptop and other things stolen in this city and police never took any action whatsoever. the police only do something when you have somebody to advocate for you like an insurance company (e.g. if my car got hit big time) or a lawyer. that's why we need regulation to fill that gap. e.g. the DMV and City should track Uber accidents. especially since Uber drivers don't have to get e.g. taxi medallions etc. in this case, Uber has the actual location data, identity of the driver etc. but instead they choose to ignore it, or even worse do things like greyballing etc
