  2. Both Uber and Lyft operate under a tiered insurance system that depends on the status of the driver at the time they allegedly cause an accident. If a rideshare driver is not signed into the app to work when they cause an accident, then they will be considered to be operating on their own time, and their personal insurance carrier will be responsible for covering any expenses.

  3. If a rideshare driver is signed in to the company app to work but does not yet have a passenger or is not on the way to pick one up when they cause a crash, their personal insurance carrier will still be primarily responsible for compensating injury and property damage victims. However, both Uber and Lyft will provide limited coverage if the driver’s personal carrier limits are not enough to cover the expenses.
