Who is Responsible When Someone is Injured in a Rideshare Accident?

Usually, the company that employs a driver as an employee can be held responsible for injuries sustained in an accident.  Uber accidents are different because Uber has chosen to classify its drivers as independent contractors. However, New Jersey insurance laws also treat Uber drivers differently than private drivers. 

Under New Jersey law, the following rules exist to establish which insurance policy will pay your damages after an Uber accident:

• If the Uber driver did not have the app turned on and was involved in an accident, New Jersey’s no-fault law applies.  That means either your own car insurance policy or the Uber driver’s personal insurance coverage will apply (in certain circumstances where the Uber driver was at fault).

• If the Uber app was turned on, Uber’s $1.5 million insurance policy may be available.  This is the case whether the Uber driver is on the way to pick up a passenger or carrying a passenger.

• If the Uber app was turned on but the driver has yet to accept a passenger, Uber also provides contingent insurance coverage if the Uber driver’s personal insurance contests liability.

It’s often necessary to gather evidence about an Uber driver’s status after an accident.  Merely having the Uber sticker in the window is insufficient. Our New Jersey Uber accident lawyers work to obtain the evidence necessary in your case.

We Fight Back Against Insurance Company Delay Tactics After a New Jersey Uber Accident

Getting insurance to pay your damages after an Uber accident is rarely as simple as it may seem.  Insurance companies look to any available defense to deny your claim. You may find yourself facing an insurance company that claims:

• You were partially at fault for the accident,
• The Uber driver was actually using another ridesharing platform at the time of the accident,
• The Uber driver didn’t actually have the app turned on, so that the driver’s much lower insurance policy limits should apply,
• The Uber driver did have the app turned on, so that the driver’s personal coverage should not apply.

All of this is in addition to the paperwork involved when pursuing a claim against a large insurance policy.  We know that fighting for fair compensation can be difficult when you’re facing off against large companies like Uber.  At Team Law, our rideshare accident lawyers have successfully helped thousands of clients just like you get the compensation they need.
