Like all motorists, Uber and Lyft drivers are required to have personal auto insurance; however, there may be restrictions to that policy if the driver is using their car “for profit,” which means the driver may not be covered while driving for a rideshare service.
However, the company the driver works for is required to have insurance that covers their driver.
While using a rideshare service is easy and convenient, there may be many factors that can impact car accident case liability and compensation. It’s important to seek legal advice from personal injury attorneys well-versed in car accident rules and liability to ensure you are fully covered.
