You can get around New Jersey in many different ways, but one of the most popular has become rideshares like Uber or Lyft. Unfortunately, rideshare drivers can get into accidents just like anyone else. In many cases, rideshare drivers injure their passengers, other people on the road, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
While they may seem similar to other car accidents, some stark differences exist. The most significant difference is the insurance process.
In some cases, the rideshare company’s insurance may cover victims’ damages. In others, victims may have to pursue a claim against the driver’s personal insurance policy. Either way, victims must retain a New Jersey rideshare accident attorney as soon as possible to handle their claims.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Rideshare accidents can occur in nearly any location but frequently occur in metropolitan areas like Newark. The reason is there are more people and thus more traffic.
Many people will use their phones for a ride to avoid driving. According to Lyft, this concept has resulted in 75 million global Uber users. Lyft is not far behind in rideshare services. In other words – rideshare vehicles are everywhere.
You may notice more accidents in certain areas than elsewhere throughout New Jersey.
Some roads and areas are more susceptible to accidents, including:
While rideshare accidents are similar to other collisions, some unique challenges exist. New Jersey has laws specific to rideshare accident cases.
Under these laws, rideshare drivers must meet specific insurance requirements to operate throughout New Jersey. The rules will vary depending on whether the driver is carrying a passenger.
The tiers for these regulations include:
These rules stand apart from other New Jersey regulations and aim to assist rideshare drivers and riders during accidents. In many cases, they ensure there is sufficient coverage for injured victims.
After a rideshare crash in New Jersey, regardless of the cause, you can be suffering injuries.
Some of the most common we see include:
After navigating through the insurance process, you may receive compensation for your losses.
While they vary in each case, they may involve:
Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies have substantial policies that can cover these losses. That said, it is in your best interest to retain an attorney who knows how to get insurance companies to pay up.
A New Jersey rideshare accident attorney will review the insurance policies and evaluate your case. They will then negotiate towards a favorable outcome.
The insurance process works differently depending on what the driver is doing at the time he or she causes an accident. If the app is off, victims will need to make a claim on the driver’s personal insurance policy.
If the app is on and the driver has not accepted a ride, both Lyft and Uber offer some coverage. If the driver is on his or her way to pick up a ride or actively providing one, Uber and Lyft both provide $1,000,000 of coverage.
The steps you take after a rideshare accident are similar to other car accidents. The aftermath of a crash can be confusing, and you should take some time to assess your circumstances. Many victims are in a state of shock and don’t process the events until they get home.
When you do, you should take some steps to protect yourself:
