You Might Be Getting More Than You Think From Uber – And Less

March 30, 2023

When you set up your Uber account, you went through an application, and before it was over, you probably checked a box saying that you agreed to Uber’s Terms of Service. And you’ve probably checked boxes in messages from Uber saying that you agreed to the updated Terms of Service. Did you read those terms? Most people don’t. If you did, did you understand them? Recently, a judge in Hudson County ruled that three Uber riders whose driver was involved in an accident were bound by Uber’s Terms of Service, even though the riders never agreed to them and didn’t know what they were agreeing to. One of the things they unwittingly agreed to included waiving the right to arbitrate…

A Ghana Vacation Adventure with Personal Injury Attorney Ernest Blair

October 31, 2022

Author: Ernest Blair, Esq. I recently took a 10-day trip with my wife to Ghana, a country in the western part of Africa. The atmosphere and environment felt easy, comfortable, and warm. Ghana, especially its capital, Accra, is more metropolitan than I had envisioned. There were so many people milling about selling their wares on the streets–from shoes, to clothes, to breads, to peanuts, and all varieties of trinkets–you name it, it was there for the buying.  Ghana has 42 languages in total. Interestingly, most speak English. In fact, most speak a minimum of two languages, English and Ga.  There were numerous sites to visit. Our first stop was the Cape Coast Castle. Ghanaian men and women were captured and imprisoned…

CourtLaw Fights and Wins!! Justice is Done!!

July 12, 2022

“Better late than never” is an old saying that applies to so many things, including justice.  Here at CourtLaw, we were recently reminded of this when we prevailed in a very significant appeal before the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court. This victory on appeal is proof that at CourtLaw, we mean what we say when we promise to fight for you. A CourtLaw client was involved in two different motor vehicle accidents.  In 2020, a Superior Court Judge dismissed her claims related to the first accident.  We asked that Judge to reconsider that decision and he refused.  Undaunted, and believing this was very wrong, CourtLaw appealed to a higher court.  In May of 2022, we won!!!!  This isn’t…

Uber and Lyft Passengers and Drivers: Protect Yourselves!!!!!

April 13, 2022

Most Uber and Lyft drivers are professionals who get you where you want to go, safely.  Sometimes, though, accidents happen. Essential Guidance for Uber and Lyft Passengers Involved in an Accident If you are a passenger in an Uber or Lyft that is, unfortunately, in an accident during your ride, make sure you have proof of your ride. Save all text messages and emails which Uber or Lyft send to you and keep them.

Take Uber or Lyft and Avoid the Verbal Threshold Defense

March 17, 2022

Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to save money.  And that goes for car insurance, too.  One way to save money on car insurance is to get the so-called “verbal threshold” or “limitation on lawsuit” option.  Your premium will be lower but in exchange, you give up your right to sue for injuries, except in serious cases.  Most people don’t want to do that, and at Courtlaw we don’t recommend it, but economic reality sometimes forces people’s hands.  They just can’t afford the higher auto insurance premiums. What to do?  One thing you can do is take Uber or Lyft. Under New Jersey law, the limitation on lawsuit/verbal threshold “shall not be . . . be asserted…
