Injured While Ride-sharing Service

With the surge of ride-sharing services in the Eagle Rock, 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 ride share provider may be fast and easy, 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 destiny. You would be expecting that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have highly-evolved capabilities that complement their ability to get you to your final destination safely, but regrettably that is not regularly 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 associated with any sort of 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 our legal team knows the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while a passenger in a ride-hailing service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment assessment.

Taxi Cab and Limousines

Contracting a traditional taxi cab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been around so long, the legal implications and processes are much more clear. While ride-hailing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limousines have been around since before cars existed! The basic 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 taxi cabs and limousines are normally company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more strictly and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced attorneys 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 vehicle accident with a cab or limo - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also require the expertise of a professional lawyer.

Car Rental Accidents

If you are involved in a car accident while driving a rental car, you will surely have to deal with extra complications not present in the case of an incident with your personal car or truck.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 yet another layer of complexity to your situation. Factors like:

• Establishing responsibility - Who is at fault and to what extent?
• Insurance coverage - Did you buy extra insurance from the rental-car business? What does your private insurance coverage provide? Who pays first?

In short, while being part of an car accident is taxing enough, the additional duty of reporting to the rental car company can be daunting. Allow our legal team to take care of everything for you.

Rear End Collisions

Even if you do every single thing right, you can still be involved in an accident. One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end collisions and occur in 29% of all collisions (NHTSA, 2017)So if your 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 forced 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 significant trauma.The faster the vehicle that hits you is going, the more potent the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more significant 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 will want to contact us to assess that damage and your potential remedies.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 Eagle Rock, CA area's best professional representation.
