Los Angeles Bicycle Attorney

05/26/2026

Do you honestly believe Uber has poured at least $77 million into its campaign to amend California's constitution to limit how much attorneys and doctors get paid because Uber cares about you?

Guess again. Uber is trying to rewrite California law to insulate itself from accountability.

With Prop 22, Uber made its drivers independent contractors instead of employees. That made them ineligible for benefits like health insurance and overtime.

Now it seeks to insulate itself from legal accountability altogether.

Accident attorneys invest their own funds and work for free until cases settle. Their fee is their war chest against corporate giants like Uber.

If this measure passes, lawyers will be financially unable to battle Uber for crash victims. This, at a time when larger and more dangerous Uber vehicles driven by untrained commercial drivers are increasing as a share of traffic.

DON'T fall for it, and vote NO on the Protecting Automobile Accident Victims from Attorney Self-Dealing Act in November!

The rideshare giant’s ballot proposition could upend the legal industry. Critics call it an “inhumane” attempt at corporate greed.

There are many ways you could measure the health of a city — its air quality index, its population growth, the number of jobs it added last year. But another one not often high on the priority lists of city governments in the US: How safe is it to walk?

The US has the grievous distinction among peer countries as being one of the most dangerous places in the developed world for walking down the street. American pedestrians are killed by cars at three times the rate of Canadians, four times the rate of Brits and Australians, and more than 13 times the rate of Norwegians.

While we finally got a bit of good news about pedestrian safety in America — About 11% fewer pedestrians were killed in the first half of 2025, according to a preliminary report published by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) — the question still remains: Why did it suddenly become so much more dangerous to be a pedestrian in America?

There’s almost certainly no single reason, but most experts Vox’s Marina Bolotnikova spoke to over the years have pointed to the growing popularity of SUVs and pickup trucks, which now make up an overwhelming share of car purchases in the US. These vehicles often make it harder for drivers to see pedestrians, and they’re more likely to seriously injure or kill people on foot because of their added weight and height.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, University of New Mexico engineering professor Nick Ferenchak, one of the country’s leading researchers on pedestrian and bicyclist safety, pointed to another, intriguing theory: Maybe there are just more pedestrians now. Not because Americans have suddenly discovered a love of long walks, but because an increasing number of people living outside pedestrian-friendly city centers can’t afford to get around any other way.
