Injured in a Rideshare Service

With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the Sunland, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel 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 handy, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not in control of the car or truck, 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 highly-evolved capabilities that complement their capacity to get you to your destination safely, but unfortunately that isn't 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), meaning 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 share? 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 share service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment assessment.

Cabs and Limousines

Employing a traditional taxi or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been in existence for awhile, the legal ramifications and operations are much more apparent. While ride-sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limos have been around since before cars were invented! The basic 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 taxis and limos are typically company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more rigorously and subject to greater 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. Call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC today for a FREE CONSULTATION.It goes without saying that getting in a traffic accident involving a minicab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also need the abilities of a seasoned legal firm.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in a car accident while driving a rental car, you will surely have to deal with additional headaches not present in the case of any sort of accident with your personal vehicle.Along with the concerns 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 contend with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds another layer of complexity to your situation. Factors like:

• Understanding liability - Who is at fault and to what extent?
• Insurance protection - Did you get extra insurance from the car rental company? What does your personal insurance plan cover? Who pays first?

In short, while being involved with an car accident is aggravating enough, the additional duty of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming. Allow our attorneys to take care of everything for you. Call (877) 278-6890 now to talk to one of our lawyers.

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 make up 29% of all accidents (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor 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 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 severe trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is moving, the more powerful 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 will want to contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.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 Sunland, CA area's best professional representation.
