After an accident, you may wonder, “how much is my rideshare accident worth?” There is no set average settlement amount for rideshare accidents. Settlements are determined based on the extent of injuries, medical costs, and lost income. Those involved in accidents must know common settlement amounts, as this knowledge can help them understand what they may receive to aid in their recovery. Settlements can assist in covering medical expenses, compensating for time away from work, and supporting ongoing care or rehabilitation. 
Is Lyft liable for an accident? Given the details of the accident and Lyft's legal responsibility under Illinois law, holding Lyft liable may be possible if the Lyft driver caused the accident due to distracted driving or violating traffic laws, if the incident happened while Lyft's insurance was active, or if Lyft’s actions were negligent. This could include insufficient background checks or training. For help with a Lyft accident claim, contact Lloyd Miller Law Group at (773) 838-8100.
Can you sue Uber if you get in an accident? Depending on the details of the crash, you may be able to sue Uber if you get in an accident. The prevalence of ridesharing services has increased accident risk to other drivers and pedestrians. According to a 2018 study, ridesharing services led to a 2% to 3% increase in fatalities to pedestrians and other car occupants from 2011 to 2016. If the Uber driver caused the accident due to distracted driving or violating traffic laws, the incident happened while Uber's insurance was active, or if there is a chance of Uber’s vicarious liability, it may be possible to pursue legal action.

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
