Nestled between Lake Michigan, Uptown, and Wrigleyville, Buena Park is a dense and dynamic lakefront neighborhood where rideshare usage is part of daily life. Whether it’s a quick Uber to Montrose Beach, a Lyft to work on Clark Street, or a late-night trip home from the Sheridan Red Line, rideshare vehicles are everywhere — and so are the risks.

Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist, we’ll fight to secure maximum compensation — with no fee unless we win.

Rideshare accidents in this part of the city are often caused by:
- Sudden stops or illegal turns on narrow, one-way streets
- Confusion from out-of-area drivers trying to navigate local drop-off points
- Double-parking outside high-rises, creating blind spots for pedestrians and bikers
- Distracted driving, especially while handling multiple ride requests or navigating apps
- Congestion and lane confusion along Broadway, Irving Park, or Montrose
These factors are especially dangerous for:
- Renters, young professionals, and students using Uber/Lyft for daily commutes
- Cyclists and joggers sharing tight lanes near the lakefront trail
- Elderly or disabled residents being dropped off at care centers
- Nightlife workers, bartenders, and servers commuting home in low-visibility conditions
Who’s Liable in a Buena Park Uber or Lyft Accident?
Liability can be complex. Our rideshare accident lawyer team evaluates:
- Whether the rideshare driver was on an active trip
- If another driver was at fault
- Whether Uber or Lyft’s $1M commercial policy applies
- Whether the victim was a pedestrian, cyclist, or other driver
We gather:
- Trip and GPS data
- App logs and timestamped reports
- Nearby CTA or condo surveillance footage
- Crash reports and eyewitness statements
Once we establish liability, we file claims against all available insurance sources — Uber, Lyft, or third parties.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Buena Park Rideshare Crash?
If you were injured in a rideshare-related crash in 60613, you may be entitled to:
- Emergency room costs (e.g., Weiss Memorial, Advocate Masonic)
- Ongoing care, such as surgery, rehab, and pain management
- Lost wages or missed work, especially for hourly and service workers
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Permanent disability, scars, or long-term mobility loss
- Reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs, ride fees, prescriptions, or assistive equipment
Whether you’re a student, commuter, retiree, or worker, we build claims around the real impact of your injury — not just your hospital bill.

EXCELLENT Based on 315 reviews Kat Chow2024-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't stress enough how grateful I am that we hired Paul Marriett to help us with our case. His communication was not only timely and thorough but also understandable. He did a phenomenal job guiding us through the process and preparing us for the courtroom, which put our minds at ease. Once our hearing came, he did his job flawlessly and won our case. Additionally, he was quite pleasant to speak with when our judge was behind schedule and while the court was in recess. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney and will reach out again in the future should we ever need representation. angel martinez2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and helpful! I would recommend to all my friends and family to hire him. He was eager to know the circumstances of my case even before I hired him. I did contact other lawyers and offices, but none came close to the comfort I felt while talking to Mr. Marriertt, I really felt like he cared about the situation I found myself in. He deserves 6 stars for going above and beyond John Harker2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul helped me out with a traffic citation. The communication was great as he walked me through my options and what to expect with my court date and plea deal. 10/10 service. Highly recommended. Thanks again, Paul. Ryan H.2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was very professional, sharp dressed and clearly a notch above most in the courtroom. He understood my plight and refused to be bullied. Knows the law to a T....I'm keeping him on speed dial. I think u will trust him too. Scorpion Solar2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BEYOND satisfied with the services & representation! The communication & efforts have been above & BEYOND! Amazing price as well for a minor traffic hiccup. 11/10 recommend & prefer this firm for any future occurrences!!! Very transparent, & puts in the effort to help you!!! Zak Green2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are needing a lawyer in Rockford or the surrounding areas this is the guy you need to get ahold of! Do not waste your time or money going to someone else.... From the very start Mr. Marriett was on top of his job. I called several lawyers before him and he was the first to thoroughly explain everything I needed to hear without even asking him to. The definition of a great lawyer. Each time we went to court he always let me know ahead of time either in person or via phone what the expectations or options would be going in. I highly recommend Paul Marriett if you are in need of a lawyer! Kelli2024-10-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Explained everything well. Kept us informed. I'm glad we found him. bruce paulson2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very late on sharing my feedback only because I’m google illiterate. Attorney Merriett did a very smart excellent job for me and not real expensive considering how stupid I was to get in trouble . Thank you! For all your professionalism! Bruce P. Austin “i like trains” Arvey2024-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and a reliable lawyer. I'm glad we got him instead of getting anyone else. :)
