Illinois’ Comparative Fault System & Lyft Accidents
Illinois is a fault-based state, so courts can use modified comparative negligence to determine fault in car accidents. The driver or Lyft is liable up to a specific percentage they are deemed responsible for, however, a portion of the fault can still be placed on you.
What Is Lyft’s Insurance Policy in an Accident?
The Transportation Network Providers Act requires Lyft to have automobile liability insurance of $25,000 for property damage, at least $50,000 for personal injury per person and death, and $100,000 for death and personal injury per incident. The insurance policy is for the time between when the driver logs into their app until a ride is accepted, and from the time when a driver completes their transaction.
