<h2>Injured in a Rideshare Service</h2>With the boom of ride-sharing services in the West Hollywood, CA area, you may not be the one driving when an accident occurs; but you still may be seriously injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any <em>other</em> type of ride hailing service may be simple, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not in command of the vehicle, you also aren't in control of your circumstances. 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 final destination safely, but regretfully that isn't consistently the situation. 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>), meaning 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 paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride-hailing?

Because they have been around for awhile, the legal ramifications and procedures are much more clear. While rideshare services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limos have been around since before cars were invented! 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 limousine services are usually locally owned or operated.Because taxis and limos are generally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more strictly and subject to higher 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.

Ye, APLC today for a <strong><em>FREE CONSULTATION</em></strong>.It goes without saying that getting in a traffic accident with a minicab or chauffeur driven car - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also call for the ability of a highly skilled attorney.

Factors like:<ul><li>Determining responsibility - Who is at fault and to what degree?</li><li>Insurance protection - Did you pay for extra insurance from the rental-car organization? What does your personal insurance plan provide? Who pays first?</li></ul>In short, while being involved in an car accident is difficult enough, the additional duty of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming.

One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end collisions and occur in 29% of all collisions (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 <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 serious bodily injury.The more quickly the vehicle that hits you is going, the stronger the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more significant the harm 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 damage, and you need to contact us to assess that damage and your potential remedies.You need an advocate who will fight for you and your rights.
