Chicago Uber Car Accident Lawyer

If you were injured in an accident caused by an Uber driver, you deserve compensation.

Uber is one of the most visible of the new transportation networks that allow people to request a ride with a mobile application, rather than hailing a cab.

Uber has become tremendously popular in Chicago. The company claims to have 20,000 active drivers on its platform, who have collectively earned more than $200 million since the company launched in 2013. Uber said it facilitates more than 2 million trips per month in Chicago. Since starting business in Chicago, the company has seen its share of controversy, finding itself at odds with traditional cabdrivers and city and state officials over regulation issues, as well as consumers who may wonder if Uber drivers are properly vetted and fully insured.

With so many drivers on the road, accidents are bound to happen. In August of 2014, a lawsuit was filed in Cook County by the son of a Hoffman Estates cabdriver who was killed when he was struck by an Uber driver who had just dropped off a passenger.

Uber drivers use their private vehicles to give people rides. Uber provides commercial insurance to cover damages and injuries when an accident occurs during a passenger ride, and drivers are required to carry their own insurance for when they are driving their vehicle for personal use. While there was some past controversy over drivers who attempted to drive for Uber while only carrying their own personal insurance, in December 2014 the Illinois Legislature passed the Transportation Network Providers Act, which set insurance requirements that Uber and its drivers must meet.

If you are injured in an accident with an Uber driver, you should take the same steps you would in another type of accident: seek medical treatment, get a police report and document the accident. If you are contacted by the other driver’s insurance company, you should not agree to give a recorded statement, and you should not sign anything or agree to a settlement offer. Instead, contact Briskman Briskman & Greenberg for a free consultation to learn more about your rights.

I was involved in a car accident for the first time in my life.

I was in pain. I began collecting medical bills, unable to function at work properly, my vehicle was wrecked, and I was unsure what to do. I was referred by a relative to Briskman & Briskman. When I spoke to Susan from then on she put me at ease. Throughout my entire process I was ...

Excellent Job

Paul Greenberg and his staff did an excellent job of representing me. I was called weekly and ask about my injuries and if I was getting good treatment. They took care of everything while I recovered.

If I could give more stars I would

My old firm compared to BB&G was like night and day. When I called BB&G I was surprised to see that the attorney that was gonna substitute my case was Robert Briskman himself. When the insurance company saw that my firm was changed to BB&G they shaped up quickly.

It was a painless process.

Unlike the car accident, it was a painless process. They followed up with me often keeping me up to date on the progress. The case was settled and I was provided with a check for my damages. It was friendly and professional, and they took the time to explain everything.

I won my case and received a large settlement.

I was hit by a car, and my life changed in an instant. I was in pain, confused, and overwhelmed with medical bills. A friend told me not to settle with the insurance company, and she recommended I talk to Bob Briskman (of BB&G) about starting a law suit. From the minute we met, I ...

If you’ve been injured… YOU MUST READ THIS

I hurt my back at work in late 2008. My injury was so serious it required surgery. Before I knew what happen, my benefits were denied, I was out of work and my surgery was denied. I've seen Briskman & Briskman commercials for years - thank goodness for that - so I gave them a call.
