[drastik]

I live in los angeles california. I was just involved in an accident as a passenger in an uber. my girlfriend got me an uber (she made it clear that it was for someone else in the app). i was half asleep with my head leaning on the door in the passenger side in the back seat. i did not see the accident as my eyes were closed but we were hit on my side the other driver missed the door by a few inches but i got the impact on my head and neck, i currently dont have insurance and i wanna go get an xray and see if anything wrong with me, i have slight headache and pain in my neck area, how do i proceed?

You should contact the driver's insurance company in order to file a claim.

You get medical attention and you figure out how to pay for it.

Any claim you have against an at-fault driver is going to take months to settle, or longer, depending on how long it takes you to recover from your injuries and quantify your claim.

You should contact the driver's insurance company in order to file a claim.

True dat.

also should i call the police to report this?

Sure.

I believe Uber also provides insurance for their drivers for their liability.

This is from uber’s website:

On your way to pick up a rider and during a trip

While you drive to pick up a rider after accepting a request and during an Uber trip, you are covered for three things:
1. Third party liability coverage
This insurance covers your liability for damages to any third party such as another driver, pedestrian, or property in case of an accident when you’re at fault. Coverage limits vary by state, but are at least $1,000,000 per accident.
2. Uninsured or underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage
This insurance covers you and anyone else in your vehicle in case of an accident where another driver is at fault, but does not have sufficient insurance. This also covers hit and run accidents where the at-fault driver cannot be identified. Coverage limits vary by state, but are at least $1,000,000 per accident.
3. Contingent collision and comprehensive coverage
This insurance covers your vehicle in case of an accident whether it was your fault or not, as long as you maintain auto insurance that includes collision coverage for that vehicle while not on an Uber trip. Coverage limit is up to the actual cash value of your vehicle. There is a $1,000 deductible.

Contact the driver and Uber and inquire.
