<h2>Injured While Ride-sharing Provider</h2>With the expansion of ride-sharing services in the Sunnyslope, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident occurs; but you still may be seriously injured.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any <em>other</em> 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 fate. You would anticipate that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have highly-evolved skills that complement their capacity to get you to your 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>), consequently 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 passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a ride-sharing?

Because they have been around for awhile, the legal implications and operations are much more apparent. While rideshare services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxi cabs and limousines have been around since before cars were invented! 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 chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned or operated.Because cabs and limousines are typically corporately/company owned, they may be regulated even more strictly 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.

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

Factors like:<ul><li>Establishing liability - Who is at fault and to what degree?</li><li>Insurance coverage - Did you pay for extra insurance from the rental car company? What does your private insurance coverage cover? Who pays first?</li></ul>In short, while being involved with an automobile accident is upsetting enough, the additional duty of reporting to the rental car company can be daunting.

One of the most frequent types of accidents are rear-end collisions and make up 29% of all crashes (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 forced 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 significant bodily injury.The faster the vehicle that hits you is going, the more powerful the "unbalanced force" will be, and the greater 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 damages, and you need to contact us to assess that damage and your potential solutions.You need an advocate who will fight for you and your legal rights.
