TNC Cases: Not Your Ordinary Automobile Negligence Litigation
Transportation Network Company (TNC) litigation often involves issues that extend beyond ordinary automobile negligence. Cases involving Uber, Lyft, and other app-based transportation services frequently raise questions about driver decision-making, passenger handling, company policies, app functionality, operational practices, and the standard of care unique to rideshare transportation.
Those questions are often best understood by someone with firsthand experience operating within the same environment.
Experience Matters.
Every expert brings a different perspective.
Some transportation experts come from engineering, accident reconstruction, trucking, public transit, or fleet management. Those disciplines provide valuable expertise and are often essential to transportation litigation.
My background is different.
I have firsthand experience operating as a rideshare driver while also bringing more than twenty-five years of litigation experience as a practicing attorney. That combination allows me to evaluate Transportation Network Company cases from both an operational and legal perspective.
My opinions are based upon practical experience, careful analysis of the available evidence, and an understanding of how Transportation Network Companies actually operate in the real world.
Understanding More Than Just Driving.
Transportation Network Company cases are rarely limited to how a vehicle was driven.
The issues often involve decisions made before, during, and after the ride itself.
Examples include:
• Passenger safety
• Driver conduct
• Driver decision-making
• Ride acceptance and cancellation
• Passenger discharge
• Intoxicated passengers
Understanding how these issues arise in actual rideshare operations can be important when evaluating the reasonableness of a driver's conduct or the policies of a Transportation Network Company.
• Driver onboarding
• Background screening
• Platform policies
• App functionality
• Insurance issues
• Operational customs and practices
Independent and Objective
My responsibility is not to advocate for one side.
My responsibility is to provide objective, well-supported opinions based upon the facts of the case.
I accept engagements for plaintiffs, defendants, insurers, and self-insured entities. Every matter is evaluated independently, and my opinions are based upon the evidence, reliable methodology, and my firsthand operational knowledge of Transportation Network Company practices.
What You Can Expect
When retained, I work directly with counsel to evaluate the issues presented in the case, identify operational questions that may affect liability or damages, and provide clear opinions supported by the available evidence.
My services include case evaluation, consultation, expert reports, depositions, and trial testimony.
When Experience Makes the Difference.
Transportation Network Company litigation continues to evolve. While every case is unique, many involve questions that are specific to app-based transportation and cannot be fully understood without knowledge of how these services operate in practice.
If your case involves the operation of a Transportation Network Company, the standard of care applicable to a rideshare driver, or the policies and practices of companies such as Uber or Lyft, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I may be able to assist.
