Get Answers, Not Insurance Company Runaround
Whether you were injured as an Uber passenger, Lyft passenger, rideshare driver, pedestrian, bicyclist, or another driver, we help identify available insurance coverage, determine liability, and pursue compensation from all responsible parties.
Passengers often assume rideshare insurance automatically covers everything. The reality is more complicated. We help injured passengers navigate Uber and Lyft insurance claims and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
If a rideshare driver caused the accident, multiple insurance policies may apply depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger.
Even if another motorist caused the crash, rideshare insurance coverage may still play a role. We investigate all available sources of compensation and coordinate claims involving multiple insurance companies.
Uber and Lyft vehicles frequently operate in busy downtown areas where pedestrian and bicycle accidents occur. We represent individuals injured by rideshare drivers and pursue compensation for serious injuries.
Serious rideshare accidents can result in permanent disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or wrongful death. We work to maximize compensation and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Uber & Lyft Accident Questions, Answered
Answers to help you understand rideshare insurance coverage, liability, compensation, and what to expect after an Uber or Lyft accident in Chicago.
The answer depends on who caused the crash and what the rideshare driver was doing at the time. Coverage may come from the driver's personal policy, Uber or Lyft's insurance policy, another driver's insurer, or a combination of multiple policies.
Passengers are rarely at fault for rideshare accidents. You may have a claim regardless of whether the Uber driver, Lyft driver, or another motorist caused the collision.
Yes. Uber and Lyft maintain insurance policies that may provide significant coverage depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or transporting a passenger at the time of the accident.
Most rideshare injury claims settle through negotiations. However, if insurance companies refuse to make a fair offer, litigation may become necessary.
Every case is different. While rideshare companies classify drivers as independent contractors, there may still be legal options depending on the facts of the accident. We evaluate all potential avenues for recovery.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment needs, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the accident.
Multiple policies are common in rideshare accident cases. We coordinate communications, investigate coverage issues, and pursue compensation from all available sources.
Most rideshare accident cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning attorney fees are only paid if compensation is successfully recovered.

"First time using Zeidman & Carpenter for a real estate closing and it won't be the last! Lee and Corrie were great communicators during this super quick 7 day closing requested by the buyer. Lee had to navigate finding a surveyor who could get the property surveyed quickly which he did before I was able to utilize my contacts in this area at a very reasonable price. They were fantastic to work with and am looking forward to the next real estate transaction."
