  1. If​​you​​were​​involved​​in​​an​​accident involving​​Uber​​or​​Lyft,​​you​​should​​call​​a​​Uber​​&​​rideshare​​accident lawyer. Dealing​​with​​Uber​​or​​Lyft​​can​​be​​challenging​​–​​even​​for​​a​​lawyer​​let alone​​an​​accident​​victim​​representing​​him​​or​​herself. In​​general,​​rideshare​​is​​a​​great​​idea.​​It​​has​​provided​​a​​reasonably priced​​means​​for​​people​​to​​get​​around​​Chicago​​and​​other​​cities. Statistics​​also​​tend​​to​​support​​the​​idea​​that​​rideshare​​reduces​​the number​​of​​DUI​​accidents​​as​​inebriated​​drivers​​have​​an​​efficient alternative​​to​​driving​​home​​from​​a​​bar​​or​​restaurant.​​Some​​studies have​​shown​​that​​Uber​​has​​caused​​a​​dramatic​​reduction​​in​​the​​number of​​DUI​​related​​deaths. However,​​Uber​​comes​​with​​risks​​as​​well.​​Often,​​Uber​​and​​Lyft​​drivers do​​not​​have​​a​​lot​​of​​driving​​experience.​​I​​speak​​from​​personal experience​​when​​I​​say​​that​​I’ve​​had​​more​​than​​one​​Uber​​driver​​who didn’t​​have​​a​​clue​​what​​he​​was​​doing​​or​​where​​he​​was​​going.​​I’ve

  2. seen​​others​​talking​​on​​their​​phones​​while​​driving​​or​​playing​​with​​the Uber​​app​​when​​they​​should​​be​​watching​​the​​road.​​Many​​cities​​like Chicago​​have​​enacted​​rideshare​​ordinances​​to​​assert​​some​​minimum requirements​​on​​the​​rideshare​​industry.​​Chicago​​exerts​​significant control​​over​​the​​taxi​​industry​​as​​well. Our​​office​​has​​represented​​victims​​in​​several different​​Uber​​&​​rideshare​​accidents,​​including: Our​​client​​was​​driving​​for​​Uber​​when​​she​​was​​hit​​behind​​in​​Park Ridge,​​Illinois​​thereby​​causing​​her​​to​​slam​​into​​the​​car​​in​​front​​of​​her. She​​suffered​​a​​concussion​​and​​whiplash​​injuries.​​She​​also​​developed fibromyalgia​​immediately​​after​​the​​collision​​and​​also​​suffered​​from significant​​PTSD​​that​​required​​psychological​​counseling. Another​​client​​was​​a​​passenger​​in​​the​​back​​of​​an​​Uber.​​The​​Uber driver​​ran​​a​​red​​light​​and​​smashed​​into​​a​​car​​in​​an​​intersection.​​The collision​​left​​our​​client​​with​​significant​​back​​injuries.​​Our​​client’s statement​​about​​fault​​resulted​​in​​Uber’s​​insurance​​company​​accepting 100%​​responsibility​​for​​the​​accident. We’ve​​received​​countless​​other​​calls​​from​​victims​​of​​rideshare accidents,​​many​​with​​minor​​injuries​​who​​proceeded​​to​​represent themselves​​in​​filing​​a​​claim​​with​​James​​River​​Insurance​​–​​the insurance​​company​​Uber​​uses​​(for​​the​​collisions​​I’ve​​handled​​at​​least).
