Injured While Ride-sharing Service

With the surge of ride-sharing services in the Portola Hills, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident happens; but you still may be injured.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of rideshare service may be convenient, it isn't always safe. And, since you are not operating the motor vehicle, you also aren't in control of your destiny. You would be expecting that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional capabilities that complement their capacity to get you to your destination safely, but unfortunately that isn't 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), meaning that you are a lot more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with an 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 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 assessment.

Limousines and Cabs

Choosing a traditional minicab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been around for awhile, the legal complexities and processes are much more straightforward. While ride share services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limousines have been around since before cars existed! The principal 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 taxi cabs and limos are ordinarily 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 attention your individual case demands and that you won't get "bullied" by a large transportation company.

Ye, APLC today for a FREE CONSULTATION.It goes without saying that getting in a traffic accident involving a taxi or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also require the abilities of a professional legal firm.

Rental-car Accidents

If you are involved in an automobile accident while operating a rental car, you can expect to have to deal with extra complications not present in the case of an incident with your own vehicle.Along with the anxiety 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 deal with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds another layer of complication to your situation. Factors like:

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

In short, while being involved in an car accident is stressful enough, the additional responsibility of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming.

Rear End Crashes

Even if you do every single thing right, you can still be involved in a major accident. One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end crashes and make up 29% of all collisions (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor vehicle is stopped 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 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 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 will need to contact us to assess that damage and your potential solutions.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 Portola Hills, CA area's best legal counsel.
