Injured on a Ride Share Provider
With the boom of ride-sharing services in the Valinda, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident happens; but you still may be hurt.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of rideshare provider may be simple and easy, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not in control of the vehicle, you also aren't in control of your circumstances. You would be expecting that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional skills that complement their capacity to get you to your desired destination safely, but unfortunately that isn't consistently 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 you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are associated with a traffic 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 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 consultation.
Cabs and Limousines
Hiring a traditional minicab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been in existence so long, the legal ramifications and processes are much more apparent. While ride hailing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxi cabs 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 business; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned.Because taxi cabs and limousines are traditionally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more stringently 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 automobile accident with a minicab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also necessitate the expertise of a qualified attorney. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.
Rental-car Accidents
If you are involved in a vehicle accident while driving 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 car or truck.Along with the strain 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 complexity to your situation. Factors like:
- Understanding responsibility - Who is at fault and to what degree?
- Insurance protection - Did you pay for extra insurance from the rental-car business? What does your private insurance policy cover? Who pays first?
In short, while being involved in an vehicle accident is aggravating enough, the additional obligation of reporting to the rental car company can be daunting. Allow our law firm to deal with everything for you and your family. Call (877) 278-6890 now to speak with one of our lawyers. We have many years of practical knowledge in rental car accident law and have helped a number of people in the Valinda, CA area.
Hit From Behind Accidents
Even if you do every single thing correctly, you can still be involved in a major accident. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end crashes and make up 29% of all collisions (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor vehicle 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 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 severe trauma.The more quickly the vehicle that hits you is going, 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 damage, and you will want to contact us to assess that damage and your potential solutions.You need an advocate 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 Valinda, CA area's best legal counsel.
