New Jersey personal injury law allows injured parties to seek compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm. The NJ Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.) governs how fault is apportioned. Under this statute, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages. This rule applies to all personal injury claims, including car accidents, slip and falls, and rideshare accidents. An Uber Accident Lawyer Mercer County can explain how this law affects your specific case.

The rideshare accident claim lawyer Mercer County team at SRIS, P.C. understands that Uber’s liability coverage (up to $1 million) applies only when the driver is logged into the app and en route to pick up a passenger. This specific coverage structure differs from standard auto insurance policies and requires targeted legal knowledge.
