Injured While Ride-sharing Service
With the boom of ride-sharing services in the Ontario, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident happens; but you still may be hurt.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride-hailing provider may be convenient, 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 circumstances. You would hope 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 is not regularly the case. Studies show that since 2011 ride-sharing companies have increased traffic deaths in the US by 2%-3% (University of Chicago and Rice University), consequently you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with any sort of accident while a paying 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 develop; 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.
Limousines and Taxi
Employing a traditional taxi or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been in existence for awhile, the legal complexities and processes are much more clear. While ride sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limos have been around since before cars were invented! The primary 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.Because taxi cabs and limousines are generally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more rigorously and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced legal representatives 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 crash with a minicab or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the resources of a highly skilled law firm. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.
Rental Car Accidents
If you are involved in any sort of accident while driving a rental car, you will surely have to deal with additional inconveniences not present in the case of any sort of 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 an additional layer of complication to your situation. Factors like:
- Determining liability - Who is at fault and to what extent?
- Insurance coverage - Did you get extra insurance from the car rental business? What does your personal insurance plan provide? Who pays first?
In short, while being involved in an vehicle accident is difficult enough, the additional responsibility of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming. Allow our legal team to manage everything for you and your loved ones. Call (877) 278-6890 now to talk to one of our attorneys.

Rear-End Collisions
Even if you do everything right, you can still be involved in a traffic accident. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end crashes and occur in 29% of all crashes (NHTSA, 2017)So if your car is sitting 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 more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is going, the more potent the "unbalanced force" will be, and the greater 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 should 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 Ontario, CA area's best legal counsel.
Injuries Resulting from Drunk Driving and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Accidents
