Injured While Ride-sharing Service

With the explosion of ride-sharing services in the Lemon Heights, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident occurs; but you still may be hurt.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride-sharing company may be simple, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not operating the vehicle, 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 ability to get you to your desired destination safely, but regretfully that is not 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), therefore you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved in an accident while a paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride hailing? 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 riding in a rideshare service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment assessment.

Limousines and Taxi

Hiring a traditional cab or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been available for awhile, the legal implications and procedures are much more clear. While ride-sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxi cabs and limos have been around since before cars were invented! The principal difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying organization; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and limousine services are usually locally owned.Because cabs and limos are typically company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more stringently and subject to greater standards of care. Our team of experienced lawyers will ensure that you receive the care and consideration 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 vehicle accident involving a minicab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also require the expertise of a highly skilled lawyer.

Car Rental Accidents

If you are involved in a major accident while driving a rental car, you are going to have to deal with added issues not present in the case of an accident with your private 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 an additional layer of difficulty to your situation. Factors like:

• Understanding liability - Who is to blame and to what degree?
• Insurance coverage - Did you buy extra insurance from the rental-car company? What does your personal insurance protection provide? Who pays first?

In short, while being part of an car accident is traumatic enough, the additional duty of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming. Allow our attorneys to manage everything for you and your family. Call (877) 278-6890 now to talk with one of our attorneys.

Rear End Accidents

Even if you do every single thing appropriately, you can still be involved in a crash. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end crashes and make up 29% of all crashes (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor vehicle is stopped 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 forced forward when contact is made. 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 trauma.The faster the vehicle that hits you is going, the more powerful the "unbalanced force" will be, and the greater 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 ought to contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.You need an ally 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 Lemon Heights, CA area's best legal representation.
