Understanding Rideshare Accident Coverage in New Haven

Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft operate under a different insurance framework than traditional taxi services. Uber and Lyft drivers are classified as independent contractors, which complicates liability in the event of an accident. However, both companies provide coverage in specific situations, depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.

When Does Uber or Lyft Provide Coverage?

The amount of coverage available depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash:

No Coverage The App is Off

If the driver’s app is off, Uber and Lyft do not provide any coverage. In this case, you may need to file a claim through the driver’s personal auto insurance.

Partial Coverage The App is On, No Passenger Yet

If the driver’s app is on, but the driver has not accepted a ride, Uber and Lyft provide limited coverage—up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for bodily injury.

Full Coverage The App is On, Ride Accepted

Once the driver has accepted a ride and is on the way to pick up or has a passenger in the car, Uber and Lyft provide full coverage, up to $1 million in damages caused by the accident.
