Uber and Lyft Insurance Policies

Rideshare drivers have personal auto insurance policies or commercial auto insurance policies. These forms of coverage will protect the rideshare driver and passengers when a ride is in progress. This includes once the ride has been completed but the passenger is still inside the vehicle.

Rideshare company insurance coverage has three periods.

Period 1

Period one is when the rideshare app is on and the driver is waiting for a ride request. Liability insurance will cover $50,000 per person with bodily damage, with a total of $100,000 per accident and $25,000 for property damage per accident.

Periods 2 and 3

Periods two and three involve the driver en route to pick up a passenger and transporting a passenger. Rideshare companies will offer up to $1 million in third-party liability coverage, providing underinsured and uninsured coverage if their drivers are involved in collisions with drivers that have no insurance or inadequate insurance coverage.

What to Do Following a Rideshare Accident

Following an Uber or Lyft accident, you must take certain steps to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and ensure you receive the medical attention you need.

If anyone was injured contact 911. If no serious injuries are apparent, contact law enforcement. Police officers will document the scene of the accident and important details in a police report, including which party they believed was negligent and anything the other driver did or said. You can use the report when negotiating with the insurance company.
Documenting the accident is also crucial since it can help support your claim. Make sure you take photos of the accident site from a variety of angles, including any vehicle damage, and any injuries.
If anyone witnessed the accident obtain their name and contact information.
Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver. Do not apologize for the accident and do not admit fault.
You must seek medical treatment as soon as possible from emergency medical professionals at the scene or by visiting the emergency room or urgent care facility. Some types of accident injuries may not present signs or symptoms for several hours or days following an accident. Because of this, you must seek medical treatment even if you don’t believe you sustained a life-threatening injury.
