Injured While Ride-sharing Service

With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the Universal City, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident occurs; but you still may be injured.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride hailing provider may be hassle-free and budget-friendly, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not in command of the motor vehicle, you also aren't in control of your fate. 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 regretfully that isn't always 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), which means that you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved in any sort of accident while a paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a rideshare? Call us today at (877) 278-6890. This is especially true as the legal landscape of these companies continues to change; laws may vary across state lines and our legal team knows the terrain.

Cabs and Limousines

Using the services of a traditional minicab or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been around for awhile, the legal implications and procedures are much more evident. While rideshare services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limousines have been around since before cars were motorized! 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 limo services are usually locally owned.Because taxis and limousines are typically 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 minicab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also necessitate the expertise of an experienced legal firm.

Rental Car Accidents

Factors like:

• Understanding responsibility - Who is at fault and to what degree?
• Insurance coverage - Did you pay for extra insurance from the rental-car business? What does your private insurance policy cover? Who pays first?

Rear End Collisions

Even if you do everything the right way, you can still be involved in an 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 car is waiting 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 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 serious trauma.The more quickly the vehicle that hits you is going, the stronger the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more substantial 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 need to contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.You need an ally who will fight for you and your rights.
