Practice Area — Chicago, Illinois
If you lost a family member in a rideshare accident in Chicago, you deserve justice and full compensation. We handle wrongful death cases with the gravity they deserve.
Liability
Directly liable for the negligent conduct that caused the fatal accident. The driver's estate is liable for damages.
Liable under negligent hiring, negligent retention, and non-delegable duty theories. The $1M policy covers wrongful death claims.
If a third-party driver caused the fatal crash, they and their insurer are liable. Uber/Lyft's UM/UIM coverage may also apply.
Wrongful death cases often involve multiple liable parties. We pursue all of them simultaneously to maximize total recovery for your family.
Insurance
Uber/Lyft $1M Policy
The full $1M liability policy applies to wrongful death claims during Periods 2 and 3. This is the primary source of recovery in most rideshare wrongful death cases.
UM/UIM Coverage
$1,000,000 uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage applies if another driver caused the death and has insufficient insurance.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages require evidence that the platform's corporate actions or the driver's behavior involved malice, conscious indifference to the rights of others, or extreme recklessness — for example, knowingly keeping a dangerous driver active after receiving complaints of prior misconduct.
