A. The transportation network company shall disclose the following in writing to each transportation network company driver before he is initially allowed to accept a request for a prearranged ride on the transportation network company's digital network:
(1)The insurance coverage, including the types of coverage and the limits for each coverage provided and any liability coverages rejected, which the transportation network company provides while the transportation network company driver uses a personal vehicle in connection with a transportation network company's digital network.
(2)That the transportation network company driver's own automobile insurance policy may or may not provide any coverage while the driver is logged on to the transportation network company's digital network during the pre-trip acceptance period or is engaged in a prearranged ride, depending on its terms.
B. To the extent that any agreement between a transportation network company and a driver or rider, or between a driver and a rider addresses liability, any provision that, in advance, excludes or limits the liability of one party for causing bodily injury to the other party is null.
C. Jurisdiction for any bodily injury or property damage claims resulting from the negligence or fault of a transportation network driver during a prearranged ride, or the offer or acceptance thereof, shall be exclusively conducted in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state of Louisiana, with all choice of law conflicts resolved in accordance with Louisiana law with respect to bodily injury or property damage claims. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit any transportation network company, transportation network company driver, and transportation network company rider from agreeing, by contract, to submit any contractual or other disputes to arbitration.
