Injured in a Rideshare Provider
With the boom of ride-sharing services in the Laguna Niguel, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident occurs; but you still may be injured.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of rideshare company may be simple, it isn't always safe. And, since you are not operating the motor vehicle, you also aren't in control of your destiny. You would expect that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional skills that complement their ability to get you to your destination safely, but unfortunately that isn't regularly 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 you are much more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with an 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 change; laws may vary across state lines and our firm knows the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while a passenger in a ride-sharing service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment consultation.
Taxi Cab and Limousines
Using the services of a traditional cab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been in existence for awhile, the legal implications and procedures are much more evident. While ride-sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limos have been around since before cars were motorized! The key difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying business; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned or operated.Because taxis and limos are generally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more stringently and subject to more substantial 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 accident involving a taxi cab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the ability of a knowledgeable attorney. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.
Rental-car Accidents
If you are involved in an accident while operating a rental car, you will definitely have to deal with extra headaches not present in the case of any sort of accident with your own vehicle.Along with the stress 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 deal with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds an additional layer of complication to your situation. Factors like:
- Establishing liability - Who is at fault and to what extent?
- Insurance coverage - Did you purchase extra insurance from the rental car organization? What does your personal insurance policy provide? Who pays first?
In short, while being involved in an vehicle accident is taxing enough, the additional obligation of dealing with the rental car company can be daunting. Allow our legal team to handle everything for you and your loved ones. Call (877) 278-6890 now to confer with one of our lawyers.

Hit From Behind Crashes
Even if you do every single thing correctly, you can still be involved in a collision. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end collisions and make up 29% of all collisions (NHTSA, 2017)So if your car 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 severe trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is moving, the stronger 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 damage, and you will want to contact us to assess that damage and your potential remedies.You need an ally 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 Laguna Niguel, CA area's best legal representation.
