• Insurance Coverage When The Lyft Driver Mode Is Off

  There is no Lyft insurance coverage when the Lyft driver mode is off. Only the driver’s own personal liability insurance coverage applies in this situation.

• Insurance Coverage When The Lyft Driver Mode Is On But No Ride Has Been Accepted

  The insurance policy of the Lyft driver is primary and Lyft provides secondary or contingent liability coverage if the Lyft driver’s insurance does not when the Lyft driver mode is on but NO ride has yet been accepted.

  The Lyft contingent liability coverage applies ONLY if the driver’s APP is on in the driver mode and BEFORE the Lyft driver has received a ride request AND when the driver’s own primary personal insurance does not provide coverage.

  The Lyft contingent policy coverage is as follows: $50,000.00 maximum limit per injured person, $100,000.00 maximum limit per entire accident for all injured persons (this means, no one injured person can receive more than $50,000.00 and combined all injured persons cannot receive more than $100,000.00), and a $30,000.00 limit for property damage. This policy coverage has NO deductible.

  Note: This is the basic policy coverage of Lyft, but this policy coverage may be modified to comply with any more specific code sections and laws of any particular state and/or city.

• Insurance Coverage When The Lyft Driver Mode Is On And A Ride Is Accepted Until The Ride Concludes

  This Lyft primary insurance coverage is the primary insurance coverage from the time the Lyft driver mode is on and a ride request is accepted until the time this ride has ended in the Lyft app.

  This primary insurance policy has a $1,000,000.00 per accident total limit.

  This $1,000,000.00 single limit insurance policy covers the driver’s liability for the entire accident or incident that the Lyft driver causes to others, such as injury, damages and also property damage to another car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle or other property.

  This single limit coverage creates many different scenarios depending on how many different people are injured, the number of cars damaged and any other property damaged. When there are multiple vehicles with injured occupants involved in a collision(s) with a Lyft vehicle, many different complex coverage scenarios are possible. Our Lyft personal injury lawyers can go over this with you and explain to you the complexities and various strategies to consider when such circumstances arise.

• Lyft Uninsured Motorist (UM) / Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage

  Lyft maintains insurance coverage for uninsured motorist (UM)/Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage that essentially covers the passengers in the Lyft vehicle from the time the Lyft driver accepts a ride request until the time the ride ends in the Lyft app, if the insurance coverage of another car or other vehicle is insufficient to pay for all of the damages sustained by Lyft passengers. The amount of this UM/UIM coverage varies by state, and in California this coverage is $1,000,000.00. There is NO deductible on the Lyft UM/UIM coverage.
