When involved in a serious automobile collision, it is crucial to quickly uncover how much coverage the at-fault driver has available to not only cover outstanding medicals bills, but to also fully compensate those who are injured through no fault of their own. Many drivers in New Jersey purchase either Basic or Standard automobile insurance policies, which allow them to select up to $250,000 (per person)/$500,000 (per incident) in liability coverage should they cause a collision.
But what happens if you are injured as a result of a rideshare driver causing the collision?
In 2017, New Jersey enacted the Transportation Network Company (TNC) Safety and Regulatory Act. Importantly, the Act requires rideshare companies to provide a minimum of $1,500,000 in liability coverage should their drivers be actively transporting a passenger at the time a collision occurs. The potential access to this amount of coverage is vital when dealing with serious and catastrophic injuries.
Our attorneys have been representing clients hurt by rideshare company drivers since the Act was first passed in 2017, and have recovered multiple six-figure settlements on their behalf. If you or a family member are injured in a motor vehicle collision involving Uber, Lyft, or a similar rideshare company, allow our attorneys to worry about all the legal issues and you worry about getting the treatment you need.
