Lyft Accidents and Liability

Every Lyft driver is required by the state of California to have insurance with a minimum coverage of $50,000 for bodily injury for each person, with a $100,000 cap per accident. The law requires this insurance to be in effect when the driver has logged onto the app regardless of whether he or she has accepted a ride request from a customer.

Lyft covers each driver with a $1 million policy for any liability when a rider has reserved a ride until he or she exits the vehicle at the end of the trip.

So, this means that if a Lyft car hits you when it has a passenger on a ride, then there is a $1 million policy to cover losses. If the car hits you when the driver is not on a paying ride, then the driver’s policy will pay for damages.
