If your injury happened near River Park, Hollywood Park, or during a rideshare pickup near Global Garden Refugee Training Farm, you may have a strong claim under Illinois law.
What Causes Most Uber & Lyft Accidents in North Park, IL?
Rideshare accidents in North Park are often caused by:
- 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.
What Compensation Can You Get After a Rideshare Accident Near North Park?
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.

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.
Can I sue if I was a pedestrian or cyclist hit by a rideshare car?
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.
What if Uber or Lyft denies my claim?
We respond with formal documentation, appeals, and litigation if necessary.
How long will my case take?
Most settle in 4–8 months. Complex injuries may take longer — we’ll explain your timeline during your free consultation.
