Compensation for your Los Angeles Uber Accident

Uber vs Lyft Insurance Policy

The insurance policy for both Uber and Lyft drivers will depend on their status at the time of the accident. If the driver is not logged into the Uber or Lyft app at the time of the accident, then they are considered to be “offline” and any accident would only be covered by their personal auto insurance. Otherwise, the below guidelines apply:

Uber: Logged Into App, Waiting for a Trip

If the Uber driver was logged into the app at the time of the accident, but waiting for a ride request, then the insurance below applies:

 

Third-party liability if your personal auto insurance doesn’t apply

• $50,000 in bodily injury per person
• $100,000 in bodily injury per accident
• $25,000 in property damage per accident

Uber: Picking Up or Dropping off a Passenger

If the Uber driver was logged into the app at the time of the accident, and was either picking up or dropping off a passenger, then the insurance below applies:

• $1,000,000 third-party auto liability coverage
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury and/or first-party injury insurance
• Contingent comprehensive and collision coverage up to actual cash value of car with a $2,500 deductible

Lyft: Logged into App, Waiting for a Trip

If the Lyft driver was logged into the app at the time of the accident, but waiting for a ride request, then the insurance below applies:

Third-party liability insurance for covered accidents if your personal insurance does not apply.

• $50,000/person for bodily injury
• $100,000/accident for bodily injury
• $25,000/accident for property damage
