Injured in a Rideshare Provider
With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the Las Flores, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident happens; but you still may be injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride sharing company may be helpful, 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 destiny. You would anticipate that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have highly-evolved skills that complement their competence to get you to your final destination safely, but regretfully that is not 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 a traffic accident while a 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 professionals know the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while riding in a ride share service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no obligation assessment.
Taxi and Limousines
Hiring a traditional minicab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been around for awhile, the legal implications and procedures are much more apparent. While ride-hailing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limousines have been around since before cars had motors! 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 or operated.Because taxi cabs and limos are normally company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more rigorously and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced legal professionals 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 crash with a taxi or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also necessitate the ability of a qualified law firm. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.
Rental-car Accidents
If you are involved in a collision while operating a rental car, you will definitely have to deal with additional hassles not present in the case of a traffic accident with your personal vehicle.Along with the strain 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 contend with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds an additional layer of complication to your situation. Factors like:
- Establishing responsibility - Who is to blame and to what degree?
- Insurance coverage - Did you pay for extra insurance from the rental car business? What does your private insurance coverage provide? Who pays first?
In short, while being involved in an car accident is aggravating enough, the additional obligation of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming. Allow our law firm to manage everything for you and your loved ones. Call (877) 278-6890 now to consult with one of our lawyers. We have years of experience in rental car accident law and have helped numerous people in the Las Flores, CA area.
Rear End Accidents
Even if you do everything the right way, you can still be involved in an accident. One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end crashes and occur in 29% of all accidents (NHTSA, 2017)So if your car is waiting 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 extreme bodily injury.The more quickly the vehicle that hits you is moving, 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 solutions.You need an ally who will fight for you and your rights. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. Call us at (877) 278-6890 to receive the Las Flores, CA area's best professional representation.
