Celebrating Our First Pitch: Postman Law at the MN Twins Opening
In 2003, armed only with ambition and a U-Haul, I and a few fellow Michigan grads rolled into the Twin Cities to start our law school journey at the U. Our first memorable stop? The iconic H.H.H. Metrodome.
Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).

FAQs
The timeline for a Lyft settlement can vary depending on the complexity of the accident. If liability is clear and damages are minor, a settlement might be reached in a few weeks to a couple of months. If injuries are serious, fault is disputed, or multiple parties are involved, settlements can take several months or over a year.
Because Lyft drivers are independent contractors, suing Lyft for a driver’s negligence can be complicated. If you’ve been in a Lyft car accident, contact Postman Law for a free case consultation so we can discuss next steps.
You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other damages depending on the specifics of your case.
Car accident settlements in Chicago and Cook County can range from a few thousand dollars to the upper five figures, and serious injury cases may exceed six figures. There is no standard payout because settlement amounts depend on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, insurance limits, fault, and pain and suffering.
It depends on who was at fault and whether the driver was logged into their rideshare app. Lyft provides up to $1 million in liability coverage when a ride is in progress, which may cover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
If another driver caused your rideshare crash, their insurance typically pays first. If they don’t have enough coverage or are uninsured, you may be able to pursue compensation through the rideshare company’s Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
The deadline depends on your state’s statute of limitations. In many states, you have between one to three years to file a personal injury claim.
