California SB 371 and the New TNC Coverage Architecture for Rideshare Accident Cases

SB 371 slashes California TNC UM/UIM coverage from $1 million to $60,000 on January 1, 2026. Learn to map period-based coverage, challenge misclassification, layer policies in an anti-stacking state, and preserve bad-faith leverage through arbitration.

Course Overview

The $1 Million Safety Net Is Gone

2026-09-23 12:00:00

SB 371 and AB 1340 rewrite California’s TNC insurance framework effective January 1, 2026. UM/UIM coverage falls from $1 million to $60,000 per person, a 94% reduction. A new $200,000 conditional excess layer appears in Period 1, and every period’s rules shift.

The stakes arrive with the first file. Misclassify the operational period and coverage disappears. Miss notice or exhaustion requirements and the UM/UIM claim dies. Let the five-year arbitration deadline pass and the bad-faith lever is forfeited. Anti-stacking rules and pro rata allocation cap what layering can recover.

Attendees leave with a period-by-period coverage map, an early investigation checklist, a coverage roadmap, and evidence preservation priorities. The program closes with a timeline from intake through arbitration and bad-faith litigation.
