What to Do if You’re Hit by a Drunk Driver in New Jersey

Uber and Lyft have changed how we travel in New Jersey, but when an accident happens, rideshare cases can quickly become complicated. Who pays for your medical bills? Is it the driver, the rideshare company, or your own insurance? The answer depends on the details of the crash and whether the driver was actively working at the time.

At Embden Law, LLC, we represent passengers, drivers, and pedestrians injured in rideshare accidents throughout New Jersey.

Who Is Responsible in a Rideshare Accident?

New Jersey law requires Uber and Lyft to carry liability insurance when a driver is actively transporting a passenger. Coverage varies depending on the driver’s status:

Driver Not Logged In: Their personal auto insurance applies.
Driver Logged In (Waiting for Ride): Limited rideshare insurance may apply.
Driver Transporting Passenger: Uber/Lyft’s $1.5 million policy is in effect.

An experienced New Jersey rideshare accident lawyer can determine which policy applies and fight to maximize your compensation.
