Amust-pass congressional funding package for the nation’s roads, bridges, and public infrastructure includes an industry-friendly carveout that would give ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft legal immunity from car crashes and injuries, according to a review of the bill text by the Lever.

Drivers would be held individually responsible, rather than the apps, unless the platforms were found to be “grossly negligent” or engaged in “criminal wrongdoing,” a much higher bar for bringing lawsuits.

The insertion of this provision into the bill by federal lawmakers comes at a time when Uber is facing thousands of class action lawsuits for rampant sexual assault cases and other accident injuries. The company is also fighting a California ballot measure, favored by consumer advocates, that would firmly hold Uber and Lyft liable for accidents or injuries, among other passenger protections.
