Rideshare Accidents Legal Services
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft provide insurance coverage for their drivers while they are actively engaged in transporting passengers. However, the extent of insurance company coverage varies depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident.
Period 1: When the rideshare app is off, the driver’s personal auto insurance policy applies in case of an Uber or Lyft accident.
Period 2: When the driver is logged into the rideshare app but has not yet accepted a ride request, contingent liability coverage provided by Uber and Lyft applies. This coverage typically includes bodily injury and property damage liability with coverage amounts of up to $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage.
Period 3: Once the rideshare driver accepts a ride request and is en route to pick up the passenger or has a passenger in the vehicle, Uber and Lyft provide primary liability coverage, as well as contingent comprehensive and collision coverage for the driver’s vehicle. The coverage amounts during Period 3 are substantially higher, with up to $1 million in liability coverage per accident and contingent comprehensive and collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible.
