Injured in a Rideshare Provider

With the boom of ride-sharing services in the Westlake, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident occurs; but you still may be seriously injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride hailing service may be easy, 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 be expecting 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 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), consequently you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with an accident while a passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride-hailing? 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. So if you are involved in an accident while riding in a ride-hailing service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no obligation assessment.

Taxi Cab and Limousines

Contracting a traditional taxi or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been available so long, the legal implications and procedures are much more established. While ride share services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limos have been around since before cars existed! The major difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying company; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned.Because taxis and limousines are usually corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more stringently and subject to greater standards of care. Our team of experienced legal representatives 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 car accident with a minicab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the abilities of a qualified legal firm.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in a car accident while operating a rental car, you will surely have to deal with added issues not present in the instance of a vehicle accident with your private car or truck.Along with the anxiety of the accident, any injuries, any property damage, and the physical and emotional well-being of all persons involved in the actual accident, having to contend with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds yet another layer of difficulty to your situation. Factors like:

• Determining responsibility - Who is to blame and to what degree?
• Insurance coverage - Did you buy extra insurance from the rental car business? What does your private insurance policy cover? Who pays first?

In short, while being involved in an car accident is difficult enough, the additional duty of dealing with the rental car company can be overwhelming.

Rear-End Collisions

Even if you do every single thing the right way, you can still be involved in a traffic accident. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end collisions and occur in 29% of all crashes (NHTSA, 2017)So if your vehicle 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 extreme trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is going, the stronger 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 remedies.You need an advocate who will fight for you and your protection under the law. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. Call us at (877) 278-6890 to receive the Westlake, CA area's best professional counsel.
