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.

In a Motorcycle Accident? Let Your Helmet Call for Help!

Posted By:

After a motorcyle accident or bicycle accident, your helmet can call for help through a sensor which will be available in 2013. When the ICEdot Crash sensor detects an accident, it will send a message complete with GPS coordinates to the user’s emergency contacts via a smartphone application.

The device is expected to cost around $200 and we consider that a pittance compared to the piece of mind it will give those who ride alone.

Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) is always happy to report innovations in roadway safety. Given the propensity of bikers to be knocked unconscious during accidents, we think this new sensor could be a life-saver.

Remember-it is always best to stay safe, but if you can’t stay safe, stay with Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law), Chicagoland’s Injury Lawyers for over 30 years.
