Lyft driver in California slams into tree, kills passenger - GeekWire

Lyft driver in California slams into tree, kills passenger - GeekWire: "This is the first fatality in Lyft’s history and will test how its insurance policies operate. The company offers liability coverage of up to $1 million that is primary to a driver’s personal insurance. Here’s how Lyft describes the policy:

Our $1M liability and uninsured/underinsured policies will apply as primary to a driver’s personal automobile insurance policy when matched with a passenger. This means that from the moment you accept a ride request and are on your way to pick up a passenger to the moment you end the ride in the app, Lyft has an insurance policy for liability up to $1 million per incident. If you already carry commercial insurance, Lyft’s policy will continue to be excess to your commercial insurance coverage."
