Rideshare claims turn on one question: what was the app doing at the time of the crash? Insurance coverage changes depending on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a request or on a trip. Illinois law sets insurance requirements for these companies, generally including higher coverage once a driver has accepted a ride. Screenshot your trip and keep the receipt straight away.

It depends on what the driver was doing. A passenger on an active trip usually has access to the company's commercial policy, while coverage is lower if the driver's app was on but no ride had been accepted. A lawyer can sort out which applies.
Often the claim is against an insurer or the driver, since companies generally treat drivers as contractors. There may be other claims in cases such as assault or a negligent safety process. Ask a lawyer about the specifics.
You may have a claim against the other driver, and possibly under the policy available through the company. Your classification affects workers' compensation, so ask before you assume it isn't available.
