Hola querido lector,

Los servicios de viajes compartidos como Uber y Lyft han revolucionado el transporte urbano. Brindan opciones de viaje convenientes y de fácil acceso para millones de personas en todo el mundo. Pero hay un lado oscuro en esta popular opción de viaje y, si no tiene cuidado, ese viaje conveniente podría costarle mucho más que su tarifa.

El problema está en los riesgos inherentes asociados con el uso de servicios de viajes compartidos. Compañías como Uber y Lyft hacen un trabajo bastante decente al evaluar a los conductores potenciales. Ejecutan verificaciones de antecedentes, extraen registros de manejo, verifican inspecciones de licencias y vehículos, y hacen mucho para verificar la identidad y la seguridad de su conductor. Aún así, algunas manzanas podridas pasan.

Recientemente me encontré con un artículo en www.wtop.com . El artículo destacaba una entrevista con una mujer joven que se había angustiado tanto durante su viaje compartido por el comportamiento errático de su conductor que sintió que no tenía más remedio que saltar del automóvil en movimiento.

Dada la frecuencia con la que mis empleados, amigos y familiares aprovechan los viajes compartidos, pensé en compartir algunos consejos de seguridad comunes sobre cómo subirse a un automóvil con un extraño, incluso si es uno al que llamó para que lo llevara.

  1. Reconocer el peligro potencial. Sí, es cierto, las plataformas de viajes compartidos se preocupan por la seguridad, aún así existe el riesgo de que su conductor no sea quien parece ser en el papel. Un buen historial de manejo y poder pasar una verificación de antecedentes no garantiza que el conductor sea capaz de conducir de manera imprudente o de mala conducta. Además, los conductores usan sus vehículos personales, lo que significa que los problemas de mantenimiento y seguridad del vehículo pueden ser una preocupación.
  2. Confirme que su conductor es quien dice ser. Verifique que los detalles del conductor y del vehículo coincidan con la información provista en la aplicación antes de ingresar al vehículo. Verifique la foto, el nombre y el número de placa del conductor.
  3. Comparta los detalles de su viaje con un amigo de confianza. Esta función en la mayoría de las aplicaciones para compartir unidades permite que alguien en quien confíe controle su viaje y reciba alertas si hay algún problema.
  4. Confía en tus instintos. Si se siente incómodo con el conductor o la situación, considere cancelar el viaje o salir del vehículo en un lugar seguro.
  5. Viajar en Grupos. Hay seguridad en los números. Viaja con amigos o colegas cuando puedas.
  6. Manténgase alerta. Durante el viaje, mantente al tanto de tu entorno y ten en cuenta el comportamiento y la ruta del conductor.

Con un poco de buena suerte junto con la debida diligencia de su parte lo mantendrán a salvo durante todas sus experiencias de viaje compartido, pero si alguna vez se lesiona o lastima durante un viaje de viaje compartido, hay algunos pasos importantes que debe seguir.

  • Primero, busque atención médica. Puede ser difícil determinar adecuadamente el alcance de sus lesiones cuando ocurren por primera vez. Si tiene dolor o angustia, llame a los servicios de emergencia y hágase revisar por un profesional médico.
  • Documentar el incidente. Tome nota de los detalles relacionados con el incidente, incluida la fecha, la hora, el nombre del conductor, el número de placa y cualquier información relevante.
  • Póngase en contacto con el servicio de atención al cliente de la empresa Ride-Share y reporte el incidente. Proporcióneles los detalles necesarios.
  • Llame a la policía y presente un informe policial.
  • Consulte a un abogado con experiencia en lesiones personales que esté familiarizado con la ley con respecto a los casos de viajes compartidos, comprenda sus derechos y esté dispuesto a explorar posibles vías legales para obtener una compensación.

Para concluir, si usted o un ser querido alguna vez se lesiona mientras usa una plataforma de viaje compartido, comuníquese con mi oficina al 703-761-4343 y al 301-949-1515 . Con más de cuarenta años de experiencia en el manejo de reclamos por lesiones personales, estamos listos para ayudarlo en todo lo que podamos.

¡Hasta la próxima, tenga cuidado y NUNCA envíe mensajes de texto mientras conduce!

I recently worked with Paul Samakow and Rocco on a personal injury case, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Paul and Rocco were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They took the time to understand my needs and kept me very well updated throughout the entire process. They were always willing to go above and beyond to meet my expectations. Even when challenges arose, they remained flexible and open to compromise, ensuring my priorities were always respected.I highly recommend Paul Samakow and Rocco Turzi

I first got injured ( burned in a sensitive area) and I didn't know what to Expect or what to to next. I found Mr samakow and his group online, read.some reviews and gave them a call. Mr samakow took my call and we began the process of gathering details.Throughout this case I was anything but easy to work with - I was frustrated and upset with the insurance company often.Life was happening too fast around me to begin with, and this is without considering the stress from the case itself.However, through all of this chaos and confusion, Mr samakow remained calm, and for the most part found a way to accommodate me at every turn the case took. He was honest about his intentions, and always transparent. My case settled in roughly 15 months!Thanks to paul, and the samakow law group for your patience and professionalism!I'd use again, and I highly recommend. 👌Best regards,Ryan s.

I got in a motor accident in the beginning of the year. had the pleasure of working with the Law offices of paul A. Samakow, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease.A special shoutout to Paralegal Evelyn, who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. Her professionalism and compassion made a challenging situation much more manageable.The attorneys at the firm are equally impressive, demonstrating expertise and dedication to their clients. I felt confident in their hands, and they delivered outstanding results.Thank you Evelyn, and the entire team, for your exceptional service!

I've been a nursing home abuse attorney for 25 years. In Virginia the legislature codified understaffing cases for attorneys like me in direct response to the case of Alcoy v. Woodbine which Paul Samakow litigated and won! In short, nursing home residents in Virginia are more protected because of Paul Samakow. Having now gotten to know him better I am moved by how caring and compassionate he is. An attorney that is brilliant and capable coupled with a loving passion for his clients is a dangerous combination. If you are considering hiring an attorney, Paul Samakow will not let you down.

Paul is excellent I trust him with my life. He took on my case not even being in his own state, he had to get a special license to practice in my state just for my case. He took very good care of me and I was a pain in the butt! He assured me that I've made the right choices. He educated me on a lot of things, step by step process. The thing that got me the most was he goes above and beyond professionalism. He keeps you well informed. He's an excellent lawyer ! I can say that he did my case Justice and you'd be a fool not to hire him . Paul will have your best interest first and foremost I can tell you that is fact!

It was a very long process. Having patience for the due justice was the hardest part. All the staff was always very friendly, respectful, and informative of the process. I appreciated the short videos to explain the process and birthday well wishes. I have never been through anything like this. So this hopefully is my first and last. To only receive a mere small amount in the range of $2,600 the other $3,000+ came from my job. So that was hurtful, because someone there or at the insurance company spoke on my behalf saying they did not think my injury ..."a ripped ligament in my knee" was caused by the car crash, and it was degeneration. That was not true. Even the doctor told told me, showed me, and gave me a video of my knee along with documentation for the results of my knee injury. You have it as well. It can never be repaired properly, it is a permanent injury. It will get worse over time. That part was hurtful. Thank you ALL anyway for what you have achieved on my behalf. And may your company have much more success for others. Have a wonderful holiday. Sincerely Mrs. Chase❤🎀🎉🎊

Paul Samakow is a wonderful attorney! I had a horrible slip and fall accident due to my ex-boyfriend's family's negligence with a patch of ice on their patio (which they knew about but gave me no warning, still inviting me onto the patio). My ex was high as a kite! I severely broke my elbow and it required surgery. Never got an apology from the family and they never took accountability. I had to drive myself home so my mom could take me to the hospital that night. I'm still in pain every day almost two years since the injury and over a year of PT. I permanently lost 10% grip strength in my dominant hand. Paul immediately felt empathy and compassion for my situation and the emotional and mental trauma the injury caused. He took my case and fully believed in it from the start. He took all necessary steps (and more), demanded a settlement from the homeowner's insurance company, yet my ex and his family lied about the details of the accident causing them to deny the first claim. Did Paul let these people get away with that? Heck no! He demanded a settlement again and negotiated beautifully. We recently settled after over a year of hard work on this case and I will be forever grateful. I got the closure I needed. I can finally work on overcoming the emotional and mental trauma and move on! Paul is also very responsive to texts and phone calls, even on weekends. A 24/7 lawyer! I had friends and family discouraging me from taking legal action, but I knew what I needed to do. Overall, a very supportive and wonderful experience with Paul Samakow. He went above and beyond. If you ever have an injury in which someone else is liable, Paul is your guy!

I couldn't be any more pleased with the way Paul handled my case. He was communicative, patient, professional, and settled my case very quickly. I am so happy with the outcome. When he tells you what he thinks he can get, believe him. He was on point, and I can't thank him enough.

Paul A. Samakow has been so wonderful to me. Truly a praiseworthy lawyer! My mother always wanted me to hire Paul A. Samakow as my attorney. It has been the best decision I could have ever made. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Paul A. Samakow, P.C. I am very pleased and satisfied to have found this law firm to represent me. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart. I am also absolutely grateful for the above and beyond priority my case was given since the beginning. Franklin Winters went above and beyond to help me get back on my feet. He has done an exceptional job. I remember when I first came into the Manassas office with my mother. We didn’t know what to expect or what the next step would be. We were so confused and had many questions. I was also in a lot of pain. Franklin Winters explained everything clearly and in detail. He had an answer to all our questions. He also set me up into receiving physical therapy to start recovering. I started my physical therapy the same day that I signed the contract. He helped me throughout the whole process. He was keeping me informed on everything being done on my behalf. Franklin Winters gave piece of mind to me and my family. I can’t say enough how please I am. Franklin is an outstanding Legal Assistant. Also the wonderful staff for the hard work they put into helping me with my case. I am also very pleased with the settlement and the progress which was very rapid. The speed with which you brought this case to a finish, was just great! Thanks again for all your hard work. I’m glad I chose you to represent me. I don’t see how anyone could have done a better job than The Law Offices of Paul A. Samakow, P.C. Thank you so much. God Bless.
