What Causes Most Uber & Lyft Accidents in DuPage County?
Urban-suburban collisions in DuPage rideshare trips often stem from:
- Distracted driving near shopping centers like Yorktown Mall or Oakbrook Center
- Aggressive merges on expressways, including I-355 and I-88
- Speeding or red-light running at Route 53 and Roosevelt Rd
- Driver inexperience in high-volume areas such as the Warrenville Road business parks
If your Uber driver was texting or navigating erratically in Downtown Wheaton, or if another vehicle ran a stop sign in Addison, we conduct a full fault investigation—using driver logs, trip data, witness reports, and local surveillance footage.
Who’s Responsible for an Uber or Lyft Crash in DuPage County?
Liability in rideshare crashes is layered, and your claim’s success depends on identifying every party responsible:
- Uber or Lyft driver, if actively driving, distracted, or fatigued
- Another motorist, such as speeding vehicles near College Road
- The rideshare platform, when app use qualifies for platform-level insurance coverage
Whether the collision occurred during a ride from Glen Ellyn to Elmhurst Hospital or near Route 83 and St. Charles Road, we examine which insurance policy applies—personal or platform-provided.
Visit our Uber Accident Lawyer resource page for a breakdown of insurance responsibility, especially if you were hit while walking or waiting near a rideshare zone.

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. :)
