If you were a passenger, a driver or another person hurt by an Uber or Lyft car, the insurance that applies depends on whether the app was on and whether a ride was accepted. Uber and Lyft carry up to $1 million in coverage during rides, but they don’t make it easy. We sort out which policy pays and press for the full amount.
