Paramus Lyft Accident Lawyers

All Practice Areas

Rideshare companies like Lyft have exploded in popularity over the past several years, with many people taking advantage of affordable and convenient vehicle transportation. Although a Lyft is in many circumstances a safe form of transportation, Lyft vehicles are driven by regular people who are susceptible to making the same careless or reckless errors as any other motorist on the road. When a driver working for Lyft causes a motor vehicle accident, the rideshare company deserves to be held responsible for injuries and losses suffered by victims of the accident.

Lyft’s Liability Following an Accident in New Jersey

As part of a series of regulatory reforms for the rideshare industry, New Jersey has required rideshare companies such as Lyft to offer insurance coverage when their drivers are operating for the service. Lyft passengers and others who are injured in a Lyft accident may access this coverage for compensation, without the need to first look to their own insurance coverage under the no-fault system in New Jersey. 

Lyft’s insurance obligations in New Jersey include:

• When the Lyft driver is logged into the mobile application and is awaiting a ride request from a passenger: Bodily injury coverage of $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident; property damage liability coverage of $25,000 per accident.
• The Lyft driver has accepted a ride request, is driving to pick up the passenger, or has the passenger in the vehicle: Combined liability limit of $1.5 million, plus uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage of $1.5 million. 

When a Lyft driver is not logged into the mobile application, their personal auto insurance policy applies.

About Paramus, NJ

Paramus is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey. The borough’s name is believed to derive from a Native American language word roughly translating to “pleasant stream”. Paramus was officially incorporated in 1922 and quickly grew from a farming community after the construction of the George Washington Bridge and other nearby highways made the area more accessible to Manhattan. For much of the 20th century, Paramus served as a shopping destination for New Yorkers taking advantage of New Jersey’s lack of a sales tax at the time. Today, Paramus serves as an important suburb community of the nearby cities of Newark and New York City.
