What Causes Most Uber & Lyft Accidents in North Clybourn?
Crashes here are often caused by:
- Distracted driving by rideshare operators checking apps mid-traffic
- Sudden lane changes or drop-offs on Halsted or Kingsbury
- Unfamiliar drivers navigating construction zones or diagonal streets
- Nighttime crowd surges, especially near bars, gyms, or the Steppenwolf Theatre
Rideshare drivers often stop illegally near CTA stations, restaurant rows, or delivery lanes—placing themselves and others at serious risk.
Who’s Responsible for an Uber or Lyft Crash in North Clybourn?
Liability in these complex urban collisions may rest with:
- The Uber or Lyft driver, if speeding, distracted, or driving unsafely
- Another motorist, cyclist, or pedestrian in multi-party crashes
- Uber or Lyft’s corporate insurer — if the driver was logged into the app and matched with a rider
- The City of Chicago, in rare cases involving faulty traffic signals or street conditions
Our attorneys collect data from ride logs, crash reports, traffic cameras, and CTA station surveillance to assign clear fault. As your Lyft Injury Lawyer, we handle everything, so you don’t have to.

Act Fast — Illinois Has a Deadline for Filing Rideshare Injury Claims
Illinois generally allows 2 years to file a rideshare accident lawsuit, but:

- Cases tied to CTA stations, public property, or City maintenance may require notice in under 6 months
- Early evidence—like dashcam or app data—must be preserved quickly

EXCELLENT Based on 315 reviews Posted on Kat ChowTrustindex 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.Posted on angel martinezTrustindex 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 beyondPosted on John HarkerTrustindex 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.Posted on Ryan H.Trustindex 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.Posted on Scorpion SolarTrustindex 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!!!Posted on Zak GreenTrustindex 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!Posted on KelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Explained everything well. Kept us informed. I'm glad we found him.Posted on bruce paulsonTrustindex 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.Posted on Austin “i like trains” ArveyTrustindex 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. :)
