One of the most common questions when it comes to employees and independent contractors is rideshare drivers like Uber and Lyft. The National Labor Relations Board classifies them as independent contractors3. Each driver chooses their hours, how much to drive, and what vehicle to use. They maintain their own vehicle, and training is not provided. Regardless of the legal classification of the driver, you may still qualify to receive compensation for an accident through Uber and Lyft’s supplemental insurance policies.
