Injured on a Ride Share Service

With the explosion of ride-sharing services in the Montrose, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident happens; but you still may be injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride hailing service may be helpful, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not in control of the motor vehicle, you also aren't in control of your fate. You would assume that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional abilities that complement their capacity 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 at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are associated with an 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 evolve; laws may vary across state lines and our professionals know 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 obligation consultation.

Limousines and Taxi

Choosing a traditional taxi cab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been around so long, the legal implications and procedures are much more straightforward. While ride hailing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limos have been around since before cars existed! The major difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying company; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and limo services are usually locally owned.Because cabs and limousines are generally company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more strictly and subject to higher 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 an automobile accident with a minicab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also require the ability of a reliable legal firm. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in a major accident while operating a rental car, you are going to have to deal with extra issues not present in the case of a car accident with your personal vehicle.Along with the tension 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 yet another layer of complexity to your situation. Factors like:

• Determining responsibility - Who is at fault and to what degree?
• Insurance coverage - Did you purchase extra insurance from the car rental business? What does your private insurance protection cover? Who pays first?

In short, while being part of an vehicle accident is stressful enough, the additional obligation of dealing with the rental car company can be daunting. Allow our attorneys to deal with everything for you and your loved ones. Call (877) 278-6890 now to speak with one of our legal professionals.

Rear-End Crashes

Even if you do every single thing properly, you can still be involved in a car accident. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end crashes and make up 29% of all crashes (NHTSA, 2017)So if your car is sitting 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 propelled 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 extreme trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is moving, the more potent the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more significant 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 need to contact us to assess that damage and your potential solutions.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 Montrose, CA area's best legal representation.
