- Distracted driving — Uber/Lyft drivers using phones and maps while operating
- Sudden lane changes on multi-lane roads like Foster or Cicero
- Unfamiliar drivers navigating tight school zones near NEIU
- Illegal or double parking on narrow residential streets like Spaulding or Christiana
Our attorneys investigate crashes involving passengers in transit, pedestrians crossing near college campuses, or drivers hit while parked along North Park’s tree-lined streets.
For a free legal consultation, call 312-261-5656Who’s Responsible for an Uber or Lyft Crash in North Park?
Responsibility depends on trip status and driver activity. Our legal team investigates whether:
- The rideshare driver was actively on a trip or simply logged in to the app
- Uber or Lyft’s commercial coverage (up to $1 million) applies
- A third-party vehicle — like a speeding driver near Kimball & Foster — contributed to the crash
- The driver was uninsured or underinsured, and how we can access supplemental coverage
We obtain data from Chicago Police Department crash reports, Uber/Lyft server logs, and ride timestamps to determine fault and recover from all applicable insurance layers.
More information is available on our Uber Accident Lawyer page.

We help injured clients in North Park, Peterson Park, and Hollywood Park pursue:
- Emergency room bills from Swedish Hospital or Saint Francis Evanston
- Chiropractic or orthopedic care for soft-tissue or spinal injuries
- Lost wages, especially for students, adjunct faculty, service workers, and hourly employees
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress after being rear-ended or struck while walking
- Transportation costs, property damage, and long-term rehabilitation
Whether you were hit outside Bohemian National Cemetery, injured in a Lyft en route to NEIU, or struck biking home from Sauganash Trail, our attorneys build a custom case that reflects your medical, financial, and emotional recovery needs.

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. :)

FAQs — Uber & Lyft Injury Claims in North Park, IL
Who’s at fault if I’m hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident?
It depends. We determine if the rideshare driver, another driver, or both are responsible — and whether Uber or Lyft must pay.

Yes. You have just as much right to file a claim as a passenger or vehicle occupant.
What if I was on NEIU or North Park University property?
We handle claims both on- and off-campus. Rideshare pickups on private or public property are fully covered under state law.

Most settle in 4–8 months. Complex injuries may take longer — we’ll explain your timeline during your free consultation.
