In addition to the limited coverage provided in RCW 51.16.250, death benefits are provided in accordance with RCW 51.32.053 when a transportation network company driver's death results from an injury occurring while the driver is:

• Logged onto the transportation network company's digital network as available for work;

• Physically inside the transportation network company driver's vehicle or within the immediate proximity of the transportation network company driver's vehicle; and

• Not otherwise covered by this title.

The TNC definitions in RCW 49.46.300 apply.

For the purposes of this section, the applicable statute of limitations begins upon the driver's death.

The cost of the death benefits must be included in the consideration of rate changes for the risk class. The costs of death benefits are not included in the calculation of any individual transportation network company's experience modification factor.
