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.
