How Rideshare Insurance Works in New Jersey
- Driver offline: Only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies
- Driver available or waiting for a ride request: Uber/Lyft provide contingent liability coverage up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident
- Driver en route to pickup or actively transporting a passenger: Uber/Lyft provide $1 million in liability coverage plus UM/UIM
New Jersey No-Fault Coverage in Rideshare Accidents
New Jersey operates under a no-fault insurance system. Your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. If your injuries meet the threshold for your tort election, Cellino Law will pursue additional compensation including pain and suffering directly from the at-fault party. For rideshare accidents, Cellino Law will determine which coverage layer applies and pursue the maximum available recovery across all applicable policies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if the Uber driver claims the app was off when the accident happened?
Trip data and app records can be requested from Uber or Lyft through legal discovery to verify the driver’s status at the time of the crash. The driver’s account of events is not the final word. Cellino Law will pursue the documentary evidence needed to establish which coverage applies.
How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in New Jersey?
New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Contact Cellino Law promptly to protect your rights.
