Injured during Ride sharing Provider
With the boom of ride-sharing services in the Stevenson Ranch, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident happens; but you still may be seriously injured.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride sharing service may be simple and easy, 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 be expecting that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have highly-evolved capabilities that complement their competence to get you to your final destination safely, but unfortunately that is not 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), which means that you are a lot more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved in any sort of 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 we know the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while a passenger in a ride share service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment assessment.
Limousines and Taxi Cab
Contracting a traditional cab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been available for awhile, the legal implications and operations are much more apparent. While ride share services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limousines have been around since before cars were invented! The key difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying organization; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned.Because cabs and limousines are usually corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more rigorously and subject to greater standards of care. Our team of experienced legal professionals 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. Call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC today for a FREE CONSULTATION.It goes without saying that getting in an accident with a taxi cab or chauffeur driven car - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the ability of a seasoned legal firm.

Car Rental Accidents
If you are involved in any sort of accident while operating a rental car, you can expect to have to deal with additional complications not present in the case of any sort of accident with your private vehicle.Along with the hassle of the accident, any injuries, any property damage, and the physical and emotional well-being of all parties involved in the actual accident, having to fight 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 coverage - Did you pay for extra insurance from the car rental company? What does your personal insurance plan cover? Who pays first?

Rear-End Crashes
Even if you do everything properly, you can still be involved in a traffic accident. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end collisions and make up 29% of all collisions (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 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 significant trauma.The faster the vehicle that hits you is moving, the more potent 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 damage, and you ought to contact us to assess that damage and your potential remedies.You need an advocate who will fight for you and your rights. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. Call us at (877) 278-6890 to receive the Stevenson Ranch, CA area's best legal counsel.
