Rockville, United States - March 5, 2020 /PressCable/ —
Oropeza Law Blog has released a potentially controversial article “Why you should consider taking a an Uber or Lyft over a taxi the next time you need a ride”, bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset taxi companies, and their drivers.
The 445 word article examines the potential insurance implications of why taking an Uber or a Lyft is potentially better than taking a taxi. In the pursuit of providing insight on the differences in insurance coverage of taxi companies versus ride-sharing companies the article may spark discontent among taxi companies and their drivers.
Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:
“The next time you do [take a cab ride}, please take into consideration that many taxi cab companies are self-insured and many of them will have car insurance policy maximums set at [only] $25,000. What this means is that if you are in a taxi and involved in an accident where the taxi driver is at fault or where the taxi driver collides with someone who has the minimum insurance or no insurance available, you may very well be stuck with maximum coverage of [only] $25,000.”
A spokesperson for Oropeza Law Blog, Hector Oropeza, emphasizes that the intent of the blog is not to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of the firm’s articles is first and foremost to save clients any financial hardship, and specifically in relation to the article in question, to save clients from the potential of any financial hardship resulting from being in an accident while in a cab.
Although the “Why you should consider taking a an Uber or Lyft over a Taxi the next time you need a ride” article might unsettle taxi companies and their drivers, the firm’s duty is to their readers. Oropeza Law Firm believes it’s more important to educate their clients than to placate an industry.
Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists because the intent of the article may be construed to discourage the use of taxis in favor of Uber and Lyft.
Oropeza Law has stated that it aims for the blog site is to continue to bring valuable insight to readers from a legal perspective, without necessarily attacking (or favoring) any one industry. Oropeza Law Blog hopes any controversy will pass quickly and re-emphasizes that no offence is, or ever was, intended.
