Why You Need an Experienced Uber or Lyft Accident Attorney
Protect Your Rights After an Uber or Lyft Accident
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have become a popular and convenient way to get around in New Jersey. However, when an accident occurs—whether the rideshare driver or another driver causes it—the claims process can be confusing and complex. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced Uber accident attorney or Lyft accident attorney on your side—someone who understands the unique complexities of these claims.
Understanding Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents differ from typical car accidents. Drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft use their personal vehicles and operate under different tiers of insurance coverage, depending on their status at the time of the accident:
- Personal use – No coverage from the rideshare company.
- Driver available or en route to a pickup – Limited coverage.
- Passenger in the vehicle – Full coverage applies.
These insurance layers and liability rules can make it difficult to determine who is responsible and what compensation you may be entitled to. That’s where the right legal guidance matters.
Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents happen for many reasons, including:
- Distracted driving (cell phone use, GPS navigation)
- Rushing to accept the next ride request
- Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers
- Fatigue from long driving hours
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Swerving to avoid obstacles
- Negligence by other drivers on the road
If you were injured in a rideshare accident anywhere in New Jersey, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
