Uber, Lyft, Taxi & Rideshare Insurance

Drivers and independent contractors who work for Uber, Lyft, taxi, and rideshare companies are sometimes considered employees by the courts. Typically, the companies are required to provide insurance for their drivers. Uber drivers are covered by Uber’s insurance if they are involved in an accident, although the driver/employee/contractor must be actively working and on the clock in order to be covered. Otherwise, the driver’s own insurance could be responsible for injuries and damages. Like all drivers, they are required by law to have insurance.
