Chatham Borough Lyft Accident Lawyers

On average, Chatham Borough residents who commute to work represent approximately 71.2 percent of the population, who spend an average of 41.2 minutes on the road. Many Borough residents drive themselves to work, but there would be days it would make more sense to call a Lyft and leave the driving to someone else. 

New Jersey Route 24, a multi-lane freeway, crosses the boundaries of Chatham Borough. However, the nearest interchange a Lyft driver would use to transport a passenger to work, a night out, or an appointment is just outside the borough and runs along the boundary of Summit and Millburn. New Jersey Route 124 is the main road allowing drivers to access Chatham and other locations.

Types of Compensation a Chatham Borough Lyft Accident Victim Can Get

A Chatham Borough Lyft accident claim may include help for the following:

• Payment or repayment for medical bills.
• Mileage to appointments and related costs.
• Replacement or repair costs for your damaged vehicle.
• Lost wages.
• Pain and suffering.
• Other losses depend on the type of insurance in play for these kinds of accidents.

It is not uncommon for insurance companies to give claimants the runaround and take their own time to try and diminish or deny your claim. Their main goal is to reduce the amount they pay out.
