Rideshare Accident

Pennsylvania’s transportation-network law, section 2603.1 of Title 66, sets coverage by app status. Before a trip is accepted, while the driver is merely available on the app, the law requires liability coverage of $50,000 for one person’s death or injury, $100,000 for the incident, and $25,000 for property damage, together with medical benefits of $25,000 for a pedestrian and $5,000 for the driver. After acceptance, including the drive to the pickup, the liability floor becomes $500,000, and the $25,000 medical-benefit figure applies to passengers and pedestrians, with $5,000 for the driver.

Coverage is primary. Our rideshare guide explains the proof and disclosure duties, and how limited tort and the two-year deadline still apply.
