Rideshare Accident Attorneys In Chicago

If you were injured in a rideshare accident in Illinois, you are facing a complex legal process as you try to get compensation from Uber, Lyft or another company. These accidents involve details such as whether the driver had a fare or not, whether you were a rideshare passenger or driving your own vehicle, and what type of insurance you and the driver have.

These are just some of the aspects of the case that are important to sort out. At LaMonica & Sprague, LLC, our Chicago rideshare accident attorneys have the experience to pursue damages from the negligent party or parties so you can pay your medical bills, make up for lost income, and be compensated for pain and suffering.

What Can You Recover After A Rideshare Accident?

The value of a rideshare accident claim depends on the severity of your injuries, who was at fault and how much insurance coverage is available. Compensation may include:

• Medical expenses: Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, medication, physical therapy and future treatment.
• Lost income: Wages you missed while you were unable to work.
• Reduced earning capacity: Future income you may lose if your injuries affect your ability to work.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical discomfort, emotional strain and disruption to your daily life.
• Property damage: Payment for damage to your vehicle and other belongings involved in the crash.

Rideshare insurers may dispute fault, question your medical treatment or claim that your injuries existed before the accident. An early settlement offer may also fail to account for future care, ongoing income loss or the long-term effect of your injuries.

A claim usually requires medical records, proof of lost income and evidence showing how the accident has affected your life. If negotiations do not lead to a fair settlement, filing a lawsuit may be necessary. Litigation may also uncover driver histories, company records or other evidence that supports the claim.

Many cases settle before trial. Still, careful preparation and a willingness to take the case further can improve your position during settlement discussions.
