This is significantly more than the average motorist, who will typically have only $25,000 in injury liability. Since Uber and Lyft have a high amount of insurance coverage, any victim of an accident involving a driver with one of those companies may able to seek more complete compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering after an accident.
