Understanding Uber & Lyft Insurance Coverage
The key to a rideshare accident claim is determining the driver's status at the time of the crash, as this dictates which insurance policy applies:
App Off (Driver's Personal Insurance):
If the driver's rideshare app was off, any accident is typically covered by their personal auto insurance policy.
If the driver's rideshare app was off, any accident is typically covered by their personal auto insurance policy.
App On, Waiting for a Request (Limited Liability Coverage):
If the driver was logged into the app and waiting for a ride request, Uber/Lyft's contingent liability coverage may apply if the driver's personal insurance denies the claim. This coverage is typically lower.
If the driver was logged into the app and waiting for a ride request, Uber/Lyft's contingent liability coverage may apply if the driver's personal insurance denies the claim. This coverage is typically lower.
En Route to Pick Up or During a Ride (Full $1 Million Policy):
If the accident occurred while the driver was on their way to pick up a passenger or during an active ride, the full $1 million commercial liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist policy from Uber or Lyft applies.
