Texas Law: Rideshare Accident in Gainesville

Texas law requires transportation network companies (TNCs) to carry specific insurance levels based on driver status: App off — personal auto insurance only; App on, waiting for match — $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 minimum; Active trip — $1,000,000 combined single limit. The two-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003) and comparative fault rules (Chapter 33) apply. Rideshare drivers are classified as independent contractors under Tex. Occ. Code Chapter 2402, limiting direct vicarious liability against the company — but the company's insurance still applies during covered periods. No caps on compensatory damages apply.
