Ridesharing has become a convenient way to get around. You can get a ride to and from anywhere in the Newark area with just a few taps on your phone. You rightfully expect to reach your destination safely when you get a ride – and many passengers do.

Rideshare companies regularly use various legal tactics to absolve them of liability after collisions. However, New Jersey has fought back by implementing new laws that help accident victims recover compensation.
