New Jersey regulates rideshare accidents under the New Jersey Automobile Insurance statute (N.J.S.A. 39:6A-1 et seq.) and the state’s Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). An Uber Lyft accident claim lawyer New Jersey must determine whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a passenger, or between trips — each status triggers different insurance coverage limits. The law also applies a modified comparative fault rule: you are barred from recovery if found more than 50% at fault.
