Why Legal Help Matters After a Rideshare Crash
Insurance changes with app status, which can confuse even experienced drivers. We secure trip records, confirm whether the app was on or a ride was accepted, and gather police reports and traffic-camera footage. Our lawyers calculate damages like medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and future care while coordinating PIP or health insurance. Having a New Jersey attorney who knows rideshare coverage periods keeps your claim on track.
Common Injuries and Crash Scenarios
Rear-ends in airport queues, intersection collisions downtown, and lane-change crashes on Route 18 or I-287 can all involve rideshare vehicles. Injuries may include whiplash, back and neck trauma, shoulder and knee damage, fractures, and concussions or other brain injuries. We also handle hit-and-runs and multi-vehicle pileups during rush hour near Turnpike interchanges. If a pedestrian or cyclist was struck, we tailor the claim to those facts.
Our Approach To Rideshare Accident Cases
From the first call, The Granda Law Firm verifies app status and identifies all available insurance. We gather medical records from providers such as Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, manage communications with multiple adjusters, and present a clear damages package. If negotiations stall, we file in the proper New Jersey court and keep you informed at each step. You owe no attorney fee unless we win.
New Jersey Rideshare Coverage And Deadlines
Most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years, and rideshare claims add coverage timing questions. When the app is on but no ride is accepted, one set of limits may apply; once a ride is accepted or a passenger is on board, higher limits typically activate. PIP or health insurance can help with medical care depending on your policy. We review policy language, align benefits, and help prevent billing issues.
Rideshare Accident Questions We Hear Often
Does Uber or Lyft cover my injuries if I was a passenger?
When a trip is active, rideshare companies typically provide a higher liability policy that can cover your losses. We also evaluate the at-fault driver's policy and UM/UIM if needed. App records and time stamps help place the crash in the right coverage period. Our goal is to access every available layer.
What if a rideshare driver hit my car or bike?
Coverage depends on whether the app was off, on and waiting, or an active trip was underway. We obtain digital records to confirm status and pursue the correct insurer. If coverage is disputed, we build timeline evidence from phone logs and app data. You will know where your claim stands.
Do I still use PIP after a rideshare crash in New Jersey?
Many residents have PIP through their own auto policy, and it can apply regardless of fault. We coordinate PIP with any rideshare or third-party coverage so treatment continues. If the at-fault coverage is limited, UM/UIM may help. Proper billing helps avoid gaps in care.
How fast should I contact a lawyer?
Early contact helps preserve video, telematics, and app records that can be lost quickly. It also prevents harmful statements or broad releases. We take over communications promptly and outline next steps. Quick action protects evidence and clarifies coverage.
Will the rideshare company send me forms to sign?
Digital releases and recorded statement requests are common. It is best to let your attorney review forms before you sign to avoid giving unnecessary access to medical history. We provide required information without weakening your claim. If you signed already, bring us the details.
