Injured in a Rideshare Service

With the boom of ride-sharing services in the South Whittier, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident occurs; but you still may be hurt.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride-hailing provider may be simple and easy, it isn't always safe. 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 highly-evolved skills that complement their competence to get you to your final destination safely, but regrettably that is not consistently the case. 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 more at risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved in any sort of accident while a paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride sharing? 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 professionals know the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while a passenger in a rideshare service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no commitment assessment.

Taxi and Limousines

Using the services of a traditional cab or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been in existence for awhile, the legal implications and processes are much more clear. While ride-sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, cabs and limousines have been around since before cars were motorized! The principal difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying organization; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and limo services are usually locally owned.Because taxi cabs and limos are typically corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more strictly and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced legal professionals 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 an automobile accident involving a taxi cab or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also need the resources of a highly trained legal firm.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in a traffic accident while driving a rental car, you will definitely have to deal with added complications not present in the instance of a vehicle accident with your own car or truck.Along with the concerns 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 difficulty to your situation. Factors like:

• Determining liability - Who is to blame and to what extent?
• Insurance coverage - Did you purchase extra insurance from the rental car organization? What does your private insurance coverage cover? Who pays first?

In short, while being involved with an car accident is taxing enough, the additional responsibility of dealing with the rental car company can be daunting.

Rear-End Collisions

Even if you do every single thing right, you can still be involved in a major 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 stopped 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 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 significant trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is going, the more potent 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 or slow, there will be damages, and you should contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.You need an ally 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 South Whittier, CA area's best professional counsel.
