Rideshare Accident Rights in Chicago: Legal Options & Insurance Coverage

Introduction

If you’re hurt in a rideshare crash in Chicago, your rights are protected under Illinois law — but you must act fast to preserve them.

Your Legal Rights

You may be entitled to:

  • Emergency and long-term medical coverage

  • Lost wages

  • Emotional distress damages

Which Insurance Applies?

The stage of the ride (waiting, en route, transporting) determines whether Uber/Lyft’s policy or the driver’s applies.

Legal Deadlines to Know

Illinois law typically allows 2 years to file a personal injury claim — but don’t wait. Evidence fades quickly.
