  then their policy or the rideshares policy will
  take effect. The rideshare companies contingent
  coverage will become active and will have
  50,000/100,000 coverage for death or bodily
  injury. When the app is not on, then the drivers
  personal insurance policy will take into effect.

  1 million in damages. This comes into effect as
  soon as the driver accepts a ride.

CAUSED IT

  against your driver. The 1 million dollar policy
  is still in effect as well since you are the
  passenger that needs to be picked up. This holds
