Injured on a Ride Share Provider

With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the Venice Beach, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident occurs; but you still may be seriously injured.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride-hailing service may be hassle-free and budget-friendly, it isn't always safe. And, since you are not operating the car or truck, you also aren't in control of your fate. You would assume that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have exceptional capabilities that complement their ability to get you to your desired destination safely, but regrettably that is not always 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 you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with a traffic accident while a paying 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-sharing service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment consultation.

Limousines and Cabs

Contracting a traditional taxi cab or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been available so long, the legal complexities and procedures are much more clear. While ride hailing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis 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 or operated.Because taxi cabs and limos are frequently 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 consideration 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 chauffeur driven car - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the ability of a professional attorney.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in a traffic accident while driving a rental car, you will surely have to deal with additional inconveniences not present in the case of a traffic accident with your own vehicle.Along with the tension 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 an additional layer of complexity to your situation. Factors like:

• Establishing responsibility - Who is at fault and to what degree?
• Insurance protection - Did you purchase extra insurance from the rental-car organization? What does your private insurance protection provide? Who pays first?

In short, while being involved with an automobile accident is nerve-racking enough, the additional obligation of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming.

Rear End Crashes

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 collisions and make up 29% of all collisions (NHTSA, 2017)So if your car is stopped 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 serious trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is going, the more powerful the "unbalanced force" will be, and the greater 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 damage, and you should contact us to assess that damage and your potential solutions.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 Venice Beach, CA area's best legal representation.
