Uber and Lyft drivers are ordinary people who use their private cars to give rides through these rideshare services. They are not employees, but rather, private contractors, and their vehicles are not commercial ones. These are the primary differences that set rideshare services apart from traditional taxi companies. When a ride goes well, all seems fine but when there is an accident, complications sometimes arise. Getting compensation for an injured person can be more complicated than in other types of car and truck accidents.

Who Can Our New Jersey Rideshare Accident Lawyers Help?

Injured Passengers in Uber or Lyft Vehicles

At a time when you are focused on recovering, and need reassurance bills will be paid, the obstacles in your way can become burdensome and stressful.

Uber and Lyft Drivers

Or you may be an Uber or Lyft driver — and you may encounter difficulties from your own insurance company — or another driver’s insurance company. Private auto insurers may try to pin the blame on the Uber or Lyft company — and vice versa. Getting the funds you need can take time when you try to make a claim as insurers shift the blame.

Occupants of Other Vehicles

You may have been driving or riding in another car that collided with an Uber or Lyft vehicle whose driver caused the accident. Your legal situation may also involve obstacles to getting your medical bills paid and acknowledging your pain and suffering.
