The State of Florida requires rideshare companies to insure their drivers for up to $50,000 for injury claims and $25,000 for property damage before they are matched with a traveler.  Once a driver is connected to the rideshare company via the phone app, there is up to $1,000,000 in coverage per accident.  This makes certain that anybody injured while a passenger in an Uber or Lyft vehicle is covered.
