The cost of hiring an Uber accident lawyer is a major concern for many considering legal action. Most Uber accident lawyers in Illinois work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay only after securing a settlement. Some may charge a flat fee or an hourly rate. Familiarizing yourself with these fee structures can help you make informed decisions about your case. 
Can you file a claim against Uber or Lyft? Depending on the accident and the legal obligations of Uber or Lyft under Illinois law, it might be possible to hold a rideshare company responsible. This could occur if the driver was at fault due to factors like distracted driving or breaking traffic laws, if the incident took place while Uber or Lyft's insurance was active, or if Uber or Lyft exhibited negligence. Examples of negligence might include inadequate background checks or training. 
Is an uninsured driver automatically at fault after a car accident? In Illinois, liability in a car accident is assessed based on comparative negligence, not the driver's insurance status. This implies that the driver who is primarily responsible for the accident must compensate the victims, irrespective of whether they have insurance.

Injured in a Car Accident: Don’t Be Fooled by Adrenaline–Get Help Fast!

Posted By:

The Chicago Car Accident Lawyers at the Lloyd Miller Law warn that if you suffer a personal injury in a Car Accident, Bicycle Accident, Truck Accident, or a bad fall or work injury, don’t be brave and risk further injury just because you think you are ok. People who get in accidents are immediately filled with adrenaline, your body’s defense to pain and danger. Adrenaline can cause a feeling of euphoria which will mask serious injuries and enables us to fight or flee from a dangerous situation. This may cause an accident victim to assume that they aren’t really injured. Later, when the adrenaline wears off, victims will notice the pain and it can be very severe. The Chicago car accident lawyers at the Lloyd Miller Law have handled hundreds of car accident, truck accident, bicycle accident and pedestrian accident claims. Some of the most serious and preventable injuries occur when the victim thinks they are fine and refuses medical attention. This is not only detrimental to their physical recovery, but also can impede their ability to obtain full compensation in their claim for damages. South Chicago is full of industry and business’ and therefore a hot spot for potential motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians.  Personal injury resulting from any accident should never be ignored, and victims should obtain medical attention as soon as possible. The Lloyd Miller Law wants to litigate for the best financial and medical settlement available for your injuries, and that means being safe and smart by getting medical treatment immediately. Leave the treatment of the personal injury to the doctor and the advocacy of your settlement to the Lloyd Miller Law
