Injured during Ride sharing Provider

With the explosion of ride-sharing services in the Westminster, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident happens; but you still may be hurt.While calling Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of rideshare company may be convenient, it isn't always safe. And, since you are not operating 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 capabilities that complement their ability to get you to your destination safely, but regrettably that is not 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), meaning that you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with any sort of 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 evolve; 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 ride share service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no obligation assessment.

Limousines and Taxi Cab

Contracting a traditional minicab or limo service is a little different. Because they have been around for awhile, the legal ramifications and processes are much more apparent. While ride sharing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxi cabs and limousines have been around since before cars were motorized! The major difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying business; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and limousine services are usually locally owned or operated.Because taxi cabs and limousines are generally corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more stringently and subject to more substantial standards of care. Our team of experienced lawyers 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 involving a taxi cab or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also need the resources of a professional legal firm. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.

Rental Car Accidents

If you are involved in an accident while operating a rental car, you will surely have to deal with additional headaches not present in the case of a vehicle accident with your private car or truck.Along with the strain 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 an additional layer of complexity to your situation. Factors like:

• Understanding liability - Who is to blame and to what extent?
• Insurance protection - Did you get extra insurance from the car rental business? What does your personal insurance plan cover? Who pays first?

In short, while being part of an vehicle accident is taxing enough, the additional obligation of reporting to the rental car company can be overwhelming. Allow our attorneys to take care of everything for you. Call (877) 278-6890 now to confer with one of our attorneys. We have decades of expertise in rental car accident law and have helped countless people in the Westminster, CA area.

Rear End Crashes

Even if you do every single thing the right way, you can still be involved in a car 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 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 acute trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is moving, the more powerful 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 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 Westminster, CA area's best legal representation.
