Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have changed how we move through Clifton—but when an accident happens, the aftermath can be anything but convenient. Injured as a passenger? Hit by a rideshare vehicle while driving or walking? You’re suddenly facing a maze of corporate policies, multi-tiered insurance plans, and legal gray areas. At Malloy Law Offices, our Clifton rideshare accident attorney helps injury victims cut through the confusion and fight for what they’re owed.
Unlike a standard car accident, a crash involving a rideshare driver can involve:
Multiple insurance carriers (personal vs. company-provided policies)
Questions about whether the driver was “on the clock” when the crash happened
Rideshare companies that try to shift blame or deny liability
Unclear policy limits depending on the app’s active status
Injured passengers, pedestrians, or third-party drivers with competing claims
We understand the legal frameworks surrounding rideshare liability—and we know how to navigate them to your advantage.
You don’t have to be in the Uber or Lyft to file a valid claim. Our firm represents:
Passengers injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft
Drivers hit by a rideshare vehicle
Pedestrians or cyclists struck by an active rideshare driver
Rideshare drivers injured by another motorist’s negligence
No matter your role in the accident, we’ll determine what insurance coverage applies—and who’s ultimately responsible for your damages.
Rideshare drivers often work long hours in unfamiliar neighborhoods, juggling GPS instructions and app notifications. Accidents are frequently caused by:
Distracted driving (texting, navigation, ride requests)
Fatigue or drowsiness during late-night shifts
Speeding to complete more trips in less time
Unsafe pickups or drop-offs in traffic
Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
Inadequate driver screening or training by the rideshare company
We conduct a detailed investigation to understand exactly what went wrong—and how it could’ve been prevented.
Rideshare crashes may feel less serious at first, but many victims develop delayed or lasting symptoms. Our Clifton rideshare accident attorney represents clients with:
Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or concussions
Broken bones or internal bleeding
Spinal cord damage and herniated discs
Facial trauma from airbag deployment
Anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD after the crash
We work with your physicians and medical experts to document your full recovery timeline—and the true impact on your life.
If your injuries were caused by a negligent driver—or a rideshare company that failed to act responsibly—you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills (current and future)
Lost income or reduced earning ability
Pain and suffering—physical, emotional, and mental
Costs of therapy, medication, or long-term care
Transportation expenses or household help during recovery
Wrongful death damages, if a loved one was killed
We build each case with trial-level preparation—because insurance companies take you more seriously when they know you’re ready to fight.
Rideshare companies are quick to offer lowball settlements—or deny responsibility altogether. That’s where we come in. Our firm offers:
A deep understanding of Uber/Lyft insurance tiers and liability rules
A proven track record in complex motor vehicle accident litigation
Local insight into Clifton’s roadways, traffic trends, and crash history
Personal, responsive representation from a legal team that knows your name
No upfront fees—you pay nothing unless we win your case
We don’t just process claims—we advocate for your recovery, your dignity, and your future.
