02

A free review of what you have. No obligation to hire anyone.

Whose insurance pays

It depends on what the app was doing at impact.

App status is one of the facts that determines which policy applies, but the actual limits are set state by state. A crash before a ride is accepted can fall under a different coverage tier than one after acceptance, and some states even distinguish the drive to pickup from the period when a passenger is in the vehicle.

App status at impactCoverage usually involvedWhat changes by state
Driver offlineDriver’s personal auto policyPersonal-policy limits and ordinary state auto-insurance rules apply; rideshare coverage generally does not.
App on, no ride acceptedRideshare / transportation-network coverage may applyWaiting-period liability limits vary by state. Some states also require personal injury protection or uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage.
Ride accepted, heading to pickupRideshare / transportation-network commercial coverageMany states increase coverage once a ride is accepted. A few states use a separate limit before the passenger enters the vehicle.
Passenger in the vehicleRideshare / transportation-network commercial coverageHigher commercial limits usually apply, but the amount is state-specific and is not universally $1 million.

The structure and dollar limits are state-specific. Use the state pages for the applicable statutory limits and coverage rules rather than assuming one national set of numbers.
