From Lincoln Park to Logan Square, Fullerton Avenue is one of the busiest east-west routes on Chicago’s North Side. It connects riders to schools, homes, Red and Blue Line stations, grocery stores, and nightlife spots — and with the constant flow of traffic comes a higher risk of Uber and Lyft crashes.

What Causes Uber & Lyft Accidents on Fullerton Avenue?
The Fullerton corridor sees thousands of rideshare trips daily. Accidents often result from:
- Double parking or abrupt stops for pickups near nightlife hotspots
- Distracted driving — drivers switching apps, GPS routing, or texting
- Rush-hour congestion, especially near expressway access points or Fullerton bridges
- Cyclist conflicts in bike-heavy zones like Logan Square and Lincoln Park
- Inexperienced drivers unfamiliar with Fullerton’s tight lanes and one-way
These risks particularly endanger:
- DePaul students and staff
- Working parents commuting from Hermosa or Avondale
- Cyclists and joggers on shared roads near Humboldt Park and Palmer Square
- Senior residents dropped off at medical centers or community sites
Who’s Liable in a Fullerton Uber or Lyft Accident?
Our rideshare accident lawyer team investigates whether:
- The Uber or Lyft driver was actively engaged in a ride
- A third-party vehicle caused or contributed to the crash
- Uber or Lyft’s $1 million commercial insurance is applicable
- Any road or infrastructure conditions (e.g., temporary closures or obstructions) played a role
We use:
- App trip logs and GPS tracking
- Nearby business security cams, CTA footage, or traffic cams
- Crash reports, EMS records, and witness statements
Once we identify the responsible party (or parties), we pursue the maximum financial compensation available under Illinois law.
What Damages Can Fullerton Crash Victims Recover?
Whether you were hit on foot, while riding your bike, or inside a rideshare vehicle, we help you recover:
- Emergency medical treatment at Advocate Masonic, AMITA Health, or Lurie
- Ongoing care, including surgeries, rehab, therapy, or home health
- Lost wages or job loss, especially for gig workers and hourly employees
- Pain, suffering, and PTSD
- Disability, scarring, or loss of normal life
- Property damage, like phones, glasses, and personal items
We personalize your claim based on your income level, household needs, and impact on future work and well-being.

Don’t Wait — Illinois Only Gives You 2 Years to File a Claim
Illinois law requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed within 2 years of the incident, but Uber/Lyft cases move faster than that:
- Trip data and dashcam footage may disappear in days
- Surveillance footage (from CTA, stores, or apartments) is often erased weekly
- Witnesses may be hard to locate or forget details
If your accident happened near Fullerton Ave, Kimball, or Damen, act now before crucial evidence is lost.
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. :)
