Injured during Ride sharing Provider

With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the El Segundo, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident happens; but you still may be seriously injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride-sharing service may be simple, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not in control of the car or truck, you also aren't in control of your circumstances. You would anticipate that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional abilities that complement their competence to get you to your final destination safely, but regrettably that isn't always the situation. Studies show that since 2011 ride-sharing companies have increased traffic deaths in the US by 2%-3% (University of Chicago and Rice University), meaning that you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are associated with any sort of accident while a paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride share? Call us today at (877) 278-6890. This is especially true as the legal landscape of these companies continues to evolve; laws may vary across state lines and our legal team knows the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while a passenger in a ride hailing service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment consultation.

Taxi and Limousines

Hiring a traditional minicab or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been around so long, the legal implications and procedures are much more evident. While ride sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limousines have been around since before cars were invented! The key difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying organization; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned.Because taxis and limos are generally company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more rigorously and subject to higher standards of care. Our team of experienced legal representatives will ensure that you receive the care and attention your individual case demands and that you won't get "bullied" by a large transportation company. Call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC today for a FREE CONSULTATION.It goes without saying that getting in a car accident involving a taxi cab or chauffeur driven car - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the ability of a highly skilled legal firm.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in any sort of accident while driving a rental car, you can expect to have to deal with additional headaches not present in the case of a vehicle accident with your private vehicle.Along with the anxiety of the accident, any injuries, any property damage, and the physical and emotional well-being of all people involved in the actual accident, having to fight with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds an additional layer of difficulty to your situation. Factors like:

• Determining responsibility - Who is to blame and to what extent?
• Insurance coverage - Did you buy extra insurance from the car rental company? What does your private insurance plan provide? Who pays first?

Rear End Crashes

Even if you do everything correctly, you can still be involved in an accident. One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end crashes and make up 29% of all collisions (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor vehicle is sitting at a stop sign or intersection (you are "at rest") and the car behind you fails to stop ("an object in motion"), your vehicle will be acted upon by that "unbalanced force" and will be propelled forward when contact occurs. Not only will this damage your vehicle, but since you are also "at rest" inside the vehicle, the "unbalanced force" will also act on your body like it does your car, creating a "whiplash" effect that can cause you serious bodily injury.The faster the vehicle that hits you is going, the more potent the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more substantial the damage to you and your vehicle. It doesn't matter, however, if the vehicle that hits you is moving fast or slow, there will be damages, and you will want to contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.You need an advocate who will fight for you and your legal rights. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. Call us at (877) 278-6890 to receive the El Segundo, CA area's best legal counsel.
