Who Will Pay For My Injuries If I Was Injured by a Lyft Driver? 

Under New Jersey’s no-fault laws, car insurance policies are required to include Personal Injury Protection (PIP)) benefits. These benefits are paid out by the insurance to cover injuries that occur in an accident involving the policyholder regardless of who is at fault. This applies even if the policyholder was a passenger or pedestrian at the time of the accident. 

If a Lyft driver crashed into your car, you would have to use your personal insurance cover first. You can then pursue the Lyft driver for further compensation. However, you can only sue the Lyft driver for compensation if you have suffered a permanent injury such as the loss of a limb or facial scar. 

You will also be able to sue a Lyft driver for compensation if your PIP benefits do not cover anything other than your lost wages and medical bills. Lyft’s commercial insurance or the Lyft driver’s personal insurance will cover other damages including disability, pain and suffering, and more. Lyft’s commercial insurance coverage is only applicable if the Lyft driver was logged into the app and was either transporting a passenger or waiting for a request from passengers. 

It is important to have an experienced Brick Lyft accident lawyer guiding you through the complexities of ridesharing accident claims. They will improve the outcome of your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lyft Accidents in Brick

Do Lyft drivers in New Jersey carry insurance?

New legislation was passed in 2017 in New Jersey to protect those injured in rideshare accidents. The new legislation requires ridesharing apps such as Lyft to provide drivers with commercial insurance coverage.

Currently, Lyft drivers have their own personal insurance cover. They are also covered by Lyft’s commercial insurance policy when transporting a passenger or when the app is on and they are waiting for requests. If the app was off at the time of the accident, Lyft’s insurance policy will not cover the accident. Only the driver’s personal insurance policy will be applicable.

It is important to have the guidance of an experienced Brick Lyft accident lawyer when involved in a Lyft accident. Your attorney will investigate the claim to determine all available avenues for seeking compensation. They will develop the best strategy to maximize your compensation.

I was a Lyft passenger when the accident occurred. Am I subject to the limitation on lawsuit limits when seeking compensation?

No. New Jersey’s limitation on lawsuits legislation limits the ability of individuals to file lawsuits in a motor vehicle accident. The limitation is included in every motor vehicle insurance policy given to individuals in New Jersey. It essentially requires motorists who carry insurance to claim compensation from their own car insurance policy to cover their medical bills when they are involved in an accident. This applies regardless of who was at fault for causing the accident. This, however, does not apply to Lyft passengers. This is because passengers do not carry insurance. They are therefore not subject to limitations and can therefore file a lawsuit for compensation in a Lyft accident.
