Frequently Asked Questions
What should I know about suing Uber or Lyft after a rideshare accident in California?
Uber and Lyft are treated as transportation network companies under California Public Utilities Code § 7101, which requires them to maintain commercial insurance. When a driver is actively carrying a passenger, the platform’s $1 million policy is primary. When the app is on but no ride is accepted, a reduced $50,000/$100,000 coverage tier applies. When the app is off, only the driver’s personal insurance applies. The distinction matters significantly to the injured party’s recovery.
How are burn injuries valued differently in California personal injury cases?
Burn injuries carry unusually high non-economic damage awards because they often involve permanent disfigurement, chronic pain, repeated surgical procedures, and severe psychological trauma. California juries in Los Angeles County have historically awarded substantial non-economic damages in burn cases. Future medical costs — including skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and mental health treatment — are calculated with life care planners to present a full damages picture.
What happens if the dog owner denies liability after a bite attack in Sherman Oaks?
California’s strict liability rule under Civil Code § 3342 does not require the victim to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. Denial of liability does not eliminate the owner’s statutory responsibility. Evidence needed includes the bite victim’s medical records, witness statements, animal control reports, and documentation of the dog’s ownership. Claims are filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and animal control records from LA County are often key exhibits.
