Insurance Coverage from Uber & Lyft

You have your options when you need compensation after a rideshare accident. The driver’s insurance policy might cover your damages, whether you were a passenger in their car or another driver. When their policy is not enough, the rideshare company that was paying them to complete the fare could also become liable and provide coverage through its policy.

Uber’s insurance policy for rideshare accidents includes three sections:

• 1^st: The first phase is when the Uber driver is not using the app or has marked themselves as unavailable. Uber takes no responsibility for the driver’s actions during this time, so you can’t file against the rideshare company’s insurance policy.
• 2^nd: The second phase is when the Uber driver is using the app and wants to find a passenger but has not accepted a fare yet. At this point, Uber can provide a 50/100/25 policy if the driver’s insurance policy is not enough to provide for all damages.
• 3^rd: The third phase is when the Uber driver has accepted a fare or has a paying passenger in their car. At this point, Uber’s insurance policy increases to a $1 million third-party liability insurance policy that covers everyone involved in the crash. There is also additional coverage for uninsured/underinsured motorists (UM/UIM), as well as contingent comprehensive and collision coverage.

The rideshare insurance policy offered by Lyft is nearly identical to Uber’s. If you were hurt by an Uber or a Lyft driver who was on the job, then you might have a chance of demanding significant compensation.
