How New Jersey Handles Lyft Accidents
New Jersey is a no fault state. People who are injured in car accidents, including Lyft accidents, often begin by using their own Personal Injury Protection coverage, known as PIP. Whether a person can file a lawsuit for pain and suffering depends on the type of insurance policy they selected, either the limitation on lawsuit option or the no threshold option.

Understanding Lyft’s Insurance Coverage in New Jersey
In addition to PIP, Lyft drivers and passengers are covered under insurance that changes depending on what the Lyft driver was doing at the time of the accident.
| Driver Status | Coverage Type | Coverage Amounts |
|---|---|---|
| Lyft app is off | Driver’s personal auto policy only | Personal policy limits apply. Lyft coverage does not apply. |
| App on, waiting for ride request | Lyft contingent liability coverage | $50,000 per person; $100,000 per accident; $25,000 property damage |
| Ride accepted or passenger in vehicle | Lyft commercial policy | $1,000,000 liability coverage for injuries and property damage |
These coverage layers are governed by New Jersey Statute N.J.S.A. 39:5H-10 under the Transportation Network Company Safety and Regulatory Act.

Why Local Experience Matters
Court procedures and timelines can differ across New Jersey counties. Camden County, Atlantic County, Essex County, Hudson County, and Burlington County each have their own local rules and practices.
Our attorneys have filed and litigated cases in nearly every county in New Jersey. This statewide experience helps us anticipate issues, navigate local courts, and work effectively with insurers and opposing counsel.
