Help Pursuing Legal Action Against Uber in Essex County, NJ

As a result of Uber’s strong foothold in densely populated Essex County, NJ, Uber accidents in this area of North Jersey aren’t uncommon. 

Uber drivers transport people over busy city streets and highways like I-95, I-80, I-78, I-280, the New Jersey Turnpike, and the Garden State Parkway. Often, travelers rely on Uber vehicles for transportation to and from Newark Liberty International Airport. Locals and visitors alike use Uber to travel to and from attractions. Often, Uber is the service of choice for those returning home from a night of recreation at bars, clubs, and restaurants in areas like Newark, Montclair, Bloomfield, and beyond. 

Like other types of accidents on Essex County roads, Uber crashes often result from driver error on the part of at least one party. Among the factors that commonly contribute to Uber accidents are: 

• Speeding
• Following other vehicles too closely
• Distracted driving
• Impaired driving
• Failing to yield
• Failing to maintain control of the vehicle
• Failing to obey traffic safety laws, signs, and signals
• Aggressive driving
• Careless or reckless driving

Uber passengers and victims hit by Uber drivers (pedestrians or occupants of other vehicles) have the right to hold these drivers accountable for their negligent conduct behind the wheel. Further, our Uber accident attorneys in Essex County, NJ, are committed to ensuring that the corporations that employ these drivers or use them as their representatives or agents are also held accountable for injuries resulting from their drivers’ conduct.

After an accident, Uber will do its best to ensure the corporation doesn’t have to pay you fair compensation for the injuries you’ve sustained. Our Essex County Uber accident lawyers have seen firsthand the company’s efforts to avoid taking responsibility. We’re prepared to undertake the hard work of establishing liability, documenting damages, and preparing and presenting the most compelling claim possible.

Understanding the Impact of State-Specific Laws on Essex County, NJ, Uber Accident Claims

Uber accident cases involve different policies that may not be standard for typical car accidents. You need attorneys who understand exactly how state laws and corporate policies, such as the following, impact your case against Uber. 

• New Jersey’s no-fault insurance law: If you’re injured in an Uber accident and covered by a personal auto insurance policy—even if you were a passenger or pedestrian in this particular situation—your own auto insurer bears primary responsibility for paying your medical bills in NJ. We can recover compensation for your out-of-pocket costs and navigate issues of reimbursement of your insurer. 
• Mandatory minimum insurance requirements: Under state law, if you were in a rideshare vehicle or hit by a rideshare vehicle actively providing a ride to a customer at the time of the crash, there must be $1.5 million of liability insurance and $1.5 million of uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage available.
• Uber’s mandatory arbitration clause: The terms and conditions of the Uber app include a clause that requires disputes with the company to be resolved through arbitration instead of in court. Our attorneys understand the specifics of this policy and Uber’s enforcement of it, including exceptions (such as cases involving sexual assault) and how to develop strong claims with arbitration proceedings in mind. 

Every Uber accident case is unique. With a team of attorneys experienced in the full array of Uber accident nuances, you’re ready for any complications that could arise in your claim.
