Official taxi, rideshare, and crash sources

Insurance requirements for taxis and rideshare companies are created largely by state and local law. Use the national sources below for crash and regulator information, then verify the rule with the insurance department or transportation regulator where the crash happened.

Links go to the issuing agency, legislature, court material, or public medical source whenever one is available. Each page still explains what the source can and cannot establish in an individual claim.

How sources are selected

We prefer statutes, regulations, issuing agencies, court material, and federal medical or safety sources. A commercial source is used only when it is the primary source for its own policy or product and is labeled accordingly.

Sources support factual background. They do not substitute for jurisdictional research, expert analysis, medical diagnosis, or review of the complete record. Broken links and materially changed guidance are corrected during page review.
