Hyde Park Uber And Lyft Accident Attorney

Hyde Park sees heavy rideshare traffic every day. University of Chicago students use late-night rides through the RideSmart and Via programs. Tourists visit the Museum of Science and Industry. Residents commute to the Loop. At Flanagan Injury Law Group, LLC, attorney L. Michael Flanagan stands up for victims of rideshare crashes.

Hyde Park Rideshare Crashes Hotspots

Hyde Park Uber and Lyft accident attorney L. Michael Flanagan is no stranger to accidents that occur in high-risk zones. These hotspots include:

  • The 53rd Street corridor near Harper Court and Hyde Park Metra stations causes dooring accidents and sudden stops
  • Late-night university-subsidized trips through RideSmart create risks for homebound students
  • The Museum of Science and Industry area at 57th and Cornell sees distracted out-of-town drivers searching for passengers

These crashes cause rideshare passenger injuries and harm to other drivers. Distracted driving accidents peak during busy pickup times. Common injuries in Uber accidents include broken bones, head trauma and soft tissue damage.

Getting Full Coverage From Rideshare Companies

Illinois rideshare insurance laws require $1 million commercial insurance when a passenger sits in the car. A rideshare accidents attorney in Hyde Park fights to trigger this Phase 3 coverage instead of settling for less. Michael subpoenas app-based trip records to prove the driver had a rider at the time of impact.

Attorney Flanagan knows how to handle cases with UCPD and Chicago Police jurisdictional overlap. Accidents on campus at 58th and University require different reports than city street crashes. This local knowledge helps when filing a rideshare injury claim.

Uber driver negligence and Lyft driver liability extend to insurance disputes with rideshare companies. Modified comparative negligence; Illinois rules apply. Third-party driver liability claims also move forward when another vehicle causes the crash.

Is There A Time Limit To File?

In Illinois, you have two years from the crash date to file rideshare accident claims. A Hyde Park Uber and Lyft accident attorney can help you meet this deadline.
