California could soon require more stringent insurance coverage for ridesharing services, rules set up to protect riders and clarify liability in the case of any accidents. A new proposal from The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) filed today would require $1 million primary commercial liability insurance that starts precisely when a for-hire driver launches apps from companies like Uber, Lyft, and others. Ubers Eva Behrend came out against the decision in a statement, saying: This proposed decision protects trial lawyers, insurance companies, and big taxi — ignoring the needs of hardworking Californians. Uber will vigorously defend the rights of California riders and drivers to enjoy the competition, choice, reliability and safety that ridesharing affords the Golden State.
