This is a 2026 list of New Jersey Uber accident law firms that also handle Lyft and other rideshare crashes. Each firm has an active New Jersey office and publishes a rideshare accident practice on its own website. In addition, New Jersey has its own rideshare insurance law, so these cases work differently from an ordinary car crash.
The 18 New Jersey Uber accident law firms below each have at least one active New Jersey office, a rideshare accident page on their own website, plaintiff-side injury work, and a public record you can check. They are grouped by North, Central and South Jersey.
In other words, these are the offices of New Jersey Uber and Lyft accident lawyers and attorneys. Their rideshare practices also cover passengers, other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
Onal Injury Law publishes this page and is listed first. However, the numbers are only there to help you move around the page. They are not a ranking, and no firm paid to be included.
New Jersey's Transportation Network Company Safety and Regulatory Act sets the insurance that must be in place. As a result, the key question in any Uber or Lyft case is what the driver's app was doing at the moment of the crash.
The driver is not working. Therefore, only the driver's personal auto policy applies, with a state minimum of $35,000 per person as of January 1, 2026.
The driver is waiting for a request. Required coverage is $50,000 per person, $100,000 per crash and $25,000 for property damage. In practice, this is where insurers fight most.
Coverage starts when the driver accepts the request, not when you get in. It includes $1.5 million in liability coverage and, in addition, $1.5 million in UM/UIM coverage.
These figures are insurance requirements, not case values. For a full walkthrough, read our guide to New Jersey Uber accident claims.
We grouped the New Jersey Uber accident law firms by where their offices are, because most people start close to home or close to where the crash happened. Each entry also uses only facts the firm publishes about itself. In other words, we did not score or rate any firm.
Personal injury attorney John Onal represents Uber and Lyft passengers, drivers of other cars, pedestrians and cyclists hurt in rideshare crashes in New Jersey and New York.

The same crash can create different claims for different people. These are general rules, and your own case depends on your facts.
If you have your own auto policy, your PIP generally pays medical bills first. In addition, during a prearranged ride the rideshare company and driver cannot use the limitation-on-lawsuit threshold against you.
You may claim against the rideshare driver's coverage, and the amount depends on the app period. Also, your own policy's PIP and UM/UIM coverage can come into play.
Pickup and drop-off zones are common crash points. For example, a driver checking the app near an airport or train station may not see someone crossing.
During a prearranged ride, the required coverage includes medical payments for the driver. However, a driver hurt by someone else can also claim against that person's insurance.
Most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash. However, a claim against a public entity needs a notice within 90 days.
You can recover if you were not more than 50% at fault. Your award is then reduced by your share of the fault.
On request, a rideshare driver must say whether they were logged on or giving a ride at the time. As a result, the period question can be answered early.
One open question is worth knowing. The threshold rule clearly covers prearranged rides, but it is less clear during Period 2, when the app is on and no ride is accepted. That is why proving the period matters so much in these cases.
Every one of the New Jersey Uber accident law firms on this page will ask for the same records. It also helps to save them before they become harder to get.
First, capture the trip screen, the driver's name and photo, the car and the plate. This is free, and it helps prove which period was active.
Then save the pickup and drop-off times and the receipt email. If the trip was cut short, the receipt often shows exactly when it ended.
Also report the crash through the app's safety or help section, and keep a copy of what you sent.
In addition, ask the officer to note that a rideshare vehicle was involved and whether the driver was on a trip.
Finally, ask any firm you meet how it will get the app data from the company and the driver, and how long that usually takes.
Usually the claim runs against the driver and the insurance the company must carry. However, a direct claim against the company may be possible in some cases, for example negligent hiring. An attorney can tell you whether that fits your facts.
It depends on the app period. During a prearranged ride, New Jersey requires $1.5 million in liability coverage and also $1.5 million in UM/UIM coverage. When the app is on and no ride is accepted, the minimum is $50,000 per person.
In a case arising from a prearranged ride, the rideshare company and its driver cannot assert the limitation-on-lawsuit threshold under N.J.S.A. 39:5H-10(j). Other parties may still raise it, so have an attorney review how it applies to you.
Most people have two years from the date of the crash. However, deadlines have exceptions, so have an attorney confirm yours.
Most injury firms work on contingency. Court Rule 1:21-7(c) caps the fee at 33⅓% of the first $750,000 recovered, then 30%, 25% and 20% on each next $750,000. Therefore, ask how case costs are handled before you sign.
The state where the crash happened usually shapes the rules, and New York has its own no-fault and rideshare rules. For that reason, a firm with offices in both states can help. See our New York car accident guide.
Any injury lawyer can take a rideshare case. However, New Jersey's rideshare insurance rules add extra steps, so it helps to ask whether the attorney has handled Uber or Lyft claims before.
We think people choose better when they can compare. That is why we list ourselves first and say so plainly, describe other firms only with facts they publish, and correct any entry a firm asks us to fix.

This list of New Jersey Uber accident law firms is published by Onal Injury Law, which appears first and discloses that placement throughout the page. This is a directory, not a ranking, rating, award, endorsement or "best of" designation. In addition, the numbering exists for navigation only. Also, no firm is claimed to be superior to any other firm, listed or not listed. Firms were selected using the stated criteria: an active New Jersey office, a published rideshare accident practice, plaintiff-side injury work, and a verifiable public record. This list is not the product of an independent rating organization, and no firm paid for, requested or approved inclusion.
This page is general information, is not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship with Onal Injury Law or any firm listed. Do not act, or decide not to act, based on anything here without advice from an attorney who knows the facts of your situation. In addition, reading this page does not preserve any deadline or right. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Onal Injury Law represents injury clients on a contingency fee, so there is no attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. You may still be responsible for case costs and expenses, even if there is no recovery, as set out in your written fee agreement.
The statutes, insurance requirements, deadlines and fee rules summarized here are simplified, were believed accurate when this page was last reviewed, and may have changed. For example, bills to change rideshare coverage minimums have been introduced in recent legislative sessions. Limitations periods also have exceptions and shorter special rules that can only be assessed on your specific facts. Therefore, never calculate your own deadline from a web page.
