Uber and Lyft accidents raise challenges that do not exist in most standard car crashes. Rideshare drivers operate under layered insurance rules, app-based activity records, and corporate policies that can determine whether any insurance coverage applies at all. When you are injured in a rideshare accident, these technicalities often become some of the biggest obstacles to securing timely and fair compensation.

With more than 40 years of combined experience, our lawyers represent injured clients throughout New Jersey, New York, and Florida and have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of clients facing life-altering injuries.

In fact, we recently secured a $19 million verdict against Uber after a Bergen County jury found that the rideshare app was responsible for a devastating 2018 crash that ended NHL-draft pick, Brandon Crawley’s, professional career with the New York Rangers.
Bergen County is home to a combination of dense residential neighborhoods, major shopping and dining destinations, along with some of the most heavily traveled roads in North Jersey. Areas such as Paramus and Hackensack attract constant rideshare traffic tied to popular locations such as the Westfield Garden State Plaza, Bergen Town Center, and the busy medical and office buildings surrounding Hackensack University Medical Center.
Uber and Lyft drivers regularly navigate tight downtown streets, frequently stopping abruptly to pick up or drop off passengers, double-parking near storefronts and apartment buildings, or relying on navigation apps while moving through already congested intersections, increasing accident risks. Near highway access points, shopping centers, and transit connections, sudden lane changes and short stopping distances can quickly turn a routine ride into a serious collision involving passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, or other motorists.
At Varcadipane & Pinnisi, P.C., we have decades of experience representing injured clients throughout Bergen County, and that local knowledge and experience matters. When you are hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident, our familiarity with traffic patterns, shopping districts, and commuter routes helps us look beyond a police report and focus on the real conditions and decisions that may have contributed to your injuries.
