Underinsured drivers have some level of insurance coverage, while uninsured drivers do not have any insurance at all, making underinsured drivers legal.

Primary coverage typically refers to insurance coverage for a specific type of asset or property. In this case, primary coverage is commonly associated with cars, as it provides protection for damages and liabilities related to the vehicle.

An uninsured motorist is a driver who does not have auto insurance. An underinsured driver has insurance but not enough to cover the damages. An at-fault motorist is simply one who caused the accident. A negligent operator is a driver who is found to be careless or negligent while operating a vehicle.

Auto Liability coverage typically pays for damages and injuries caused to others in an accident, not the policyholder themselves, pedestrians, or parked cars.

In the scenario where your neighbor is driving your car, your own insurance policy is considered primary as it is your vehicle being used.

Uber and Lyft are classified as TNCs, which are digitally enabled platforms that connect passengers with drivers using personal vehicles. While they provide transportation services similar to taxis, they operate differently and do not fall under the same regulations as traditional taxi companies. Additionally, they are distinct from public transportation services which are typically run by government agencies and utilize fixed routes and schedules.

When it comes to insurance coverage, the primary policy is the one that pays out first in the event of a claim. In this scenario, since your neighbor's policy is primary, their insurance would be the one responsible for covering any damages or losses.
