• The driver(s) must remain at the scene until law enforcement arrive

And, since you are not in command of the automobile, you also aren't in control of your fate. You would be expecting that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have highly-evolved abilities that complement their ability to get you to your final 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% (<a href="https://research.chicagobooth.edu/-/media/research/stigler/pdfs/workingpapers/27thecostofconvenience.pdf?la=en&hash=A15B1513F98D7A17B9E37F78DD2EBDC4C6338BFA">University of Chicago and Rice University</a>), as a result you are more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with an accident while a paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride sharing?

Because they have been available for awhile, the legal complexities and procedures are much more straightforward. While ride share services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxi cabs and limos have been around since before cars had motors! The primary difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying organization; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and limousine services are usually locally owned or operated.Because cabs and limos are generally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more stringently and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced legal representatives 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.

Ye, APLC today for a <strong><em>FREE CONSULTATION</em></strong>.It goes without saying that getting in a crash with a cab or chauffeur driven car - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also necessitate the abilities of a qualified legal firm.

One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end crashes and occur in 29% of all accidents (NHTSA, 2017)So if your motor vehicle 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 forced forward when contact is established. Not only will this damage your vehicle, but since <strong><em>you</em></strong> are also "at rest" <em>inside</em> the vehicle, the "unbalanced force" will also act on your body like it does your car, creating a "whiplash" effect that can cause you acute bodily injury.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is going, the more powerful the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more extensive the damage to you and your vehicle. It doesn't matter, however, if the vehicle that hits you is moving fast <em>or</em> slow, there will be damages, and you should contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.You need an advocate who will fight for you and your protection under the law.
