Injured in a Rideshare Provider
With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the Port Hueneme, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident happens; but you still may be seriously injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride hailing service may be handy, it isn't always safe. And, since you are not in command of the automobile, 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 abilities that complement their capacity to get you to your desired destination safely, but regretfully that is not always 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), as a result you are more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are associated with any sort of 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 develop; laws may vary across state lines and we know 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 assessment.
Taxi Cab and Limousines
Choosing a traditional taxi or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been in existence so long, the legal ramifications and processes are much more straightforward. While ride-sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limousines have been around since before cars existed! The major difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying organization; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and limo services are usually locally owned or operated.Because cabs and limousines are generally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more stringently and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced attorneys 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 traffic accident with a cab or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the abilities of a seasoned law firm.

Rental Car Accidents
If you are involved in any sort of accident while driving a rental car, you are going to have to deal with extra complications not present in the case of a vehicle accident with your own vehicle.Along with the hassle 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 complexity to your situation. Factors like:
- Determining liability - Who is to blame and to what degree?
- Insurance coverage - Did you buy extra insurance from the rental car business? What does your personal insurance policy provide? Who pays first?
In short, while being involved in an vehicle accident is aggravating enough, the additional duty of reporting to the rental car company can be daunting. Allow our legal team to deal with everything for you and your family. Call (877) 278-6890 now to speak with one of our legal professionals.

Rear-End Collisions
Even if you do everything appropriately, 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 accidents (NHTSA, 2017)So if your vehicle 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 forced 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 acute bodily injury.The more quickly the vehicle that hits you is moving, the stronger the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more extensive 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 will need 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 Port Hueneme, CA area's best legal representation.
