Chicago Lyft And Uber Accident Lawyer

Since ridesharing services are often less expensive and offer quicker, more flexible pick-up solutions for consumers than other transportation options, these for-hire platforms are a popular choice for many Chicago residents. Since a large percentage of Chicagoans use rideshares as convenient and affordable modes of transportation, an increasing number of for-hire drivers are offering their services under more than one platform. In some cases, a driver might work for Uber, Lyft and Juno simultaneously. While their versatility certainly helps meet the growing demand in the area, it also raises the risk for motor vehicle accidents. To keep up with more than one employer, the drivers often must monitor multiple cellphones or tablets while driving which provides almost non-stop opportunities for distraction. Additionally, regulations for black car drivers are not as strict as those for cabbies, and many drivers are inexperienced, driving illegally, and even dangerously. This recipe puts riders, other motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians at risk. The car accident attorneys at Ankin Law Office will work aggressively to ensure you receive appropriate compensation when you or your loved one is injured by a rideshare driver.
