Taking on Lyft After Serious Crashes Across New Jersey

Lyft markets itself as a safe, modern alternative to driving. But every day, distracted or overworked Lyft drivers cause preventable accidents on New Jersey roads. When they do, victims often find themselves facing medical bills, missed work, and insurers eager to avoid accountability.

At Kwartler Manus, our Lyft accident attorneys in New Jersey make sure that doesn’t happen. From our Cherry Hill office, we represent injured passengers, pedestrians, and drivers throughout New Jersey. We build pressure from the moment your case starts: demanding records, preserving evidence, and holding Lyft accountable in court if needed.

The Complexity of Lyft Accident Claims

Lyft accidents aren’t simple. The company classifies its drivers as independent contractors, which means coverage depends entirely on when the app was active. When the driver isn’t logged in, personal insurance applies. Once they’re online, even if they’re waiting for a ride, Lyft’s policy kicks in.

And during an active ride, Lyft provides up to $1 million in liability coverage.

Our attorneys know exactly how to prove when corporate coverage applies. We secure phone logs, GPS data, and trip records that establish Lyft’s responsibility. When the company tries to blur the lines, we bring clarity and leverage.

Why Lyft Accidents Happen

Lyft’s system rewards speed, not safety. Drivers push to complete as many rides as possible, often while juggling their phones for directions, new fares, and app notifications.

Most Lyft collisions involve a combination of factors: rushed behavior, split-second distractions, and the constant pressure to keep moving.Long shifts lead to fatigue, while distracted driving and poor maintenance turn routine trips into dangerous situations.

We use expert analysis, witness statements, and digital data to reconstruct exactly how those decisions caused harm and who’s responsible.

Injuries Caused by Lyft Collisions

The injuries from Lyft accidents can range from moderate to catastrophic. Our clients often face months of treatment and ongoing pain from:

Back and neck injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Internal injuries and bleeding
Psychological trauma and PTSD

We ensure your medical care, future recovery needs, and emotional toll are all included in the damages we pursue.

What Damages Can Cover

The aftermath of a Lyft crash goes far beyond immediate expenses. Victims may be entitled to recover:

Medical costs and ongoing rehabilitation
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Permanent impairment or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages for surviving families

We don’t settle for fast checks; we fight for full compensation that matches the scale of your losses.

Our Trial-First Process

Lyft’s insurers are quick to delay, deny, and deflect. Our Lyft accident lawyers in New Jersey build every case for trial from day one. We file early, push discovery aggressively, and refuse to accept excuses.

Our process includes:

Immediate evidence collection and preservation
Constant client communication: every call answered
In-house technology that keeps cases moving fast
Refusal to allow defense delays or extensions

This is how we win faster and win more for our clients.
