Injured on a Ride Share Service

With the surge of ride-sharing services in the Hollywood, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident happens; but you still may be injured.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride hailing provider may be simple, it isn't always safe. And, since you are not in command of the car or truck, you also aren't in control of your circumstances. You would be expecting that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional abilities that complement their ability to get you to your final destination safely, but regretfully that isn't consistently 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), which means that you are more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with any sort of accident while a passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride-sharing? Call us today at (877) 278-6890. This is especially true as the legal landscape of these companies continues to change; laws may vary across state lines and we know the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while riding in a rideshare service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no obligation consultation.

Limousines and Taxi Cab

Using the services of a traditional taxi or limo service is a little different. Because they have been available for awhile, the legal complexities and procedures are much more straightforward. While rideshare services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limousines have been around since before cars were motorized! The primary difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying company; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned or operated.Because taxi cabs and limousines are ordinarily corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more rigorously and subject to greater 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 an automobile accident involving a taxi cab or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the resources of a professional lawyer.

Car Rental Accidents

If you are involved in an automobile accident while driving a rental car, you will definitely have to deal with additional hassles not present in the instance of a car accident with your personal vehicle.Along with the concerns of the accident, any injuries, any property damage, and the physical and emotional well-being of all persons involved in the actual accident, having to fight with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds yet another layer of complication to your situation. Factors like:

• Determining liability - Who is at fault and to what degree?
• Insurance protection - Did you buy extra insurance from the rental car organization? What does your private insurance plan cover? Who pays first?

Rear-End Crashes

Even if you do everything appropriately, you can still be involved in a traffic accident. One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end collisions and occur in 29% of all accidents (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor vehicle is stopped at a stop sign or crossroad (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 forced forward when contact is established. 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 trauma.The faster the vehicle that hits you is going, the more powerful the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more substantial the harm 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 protection under the law. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. Call us at (877) 278-6890 to receive the Hollywood, CA area's best professional representation.
