Hertz Car Rental Auto Accident Attorney How to Sue Hertz<\/h1>\n
\n

Individuals may need rental cars if they are traveling from out of town<\/b>, if their primary vehicles were damaged or undergoing repairs, or if they are in the middle of a trade-in. Rental agencies must be sure to follow certain regulations when providing customers with vehicles, and drivers should exercise all the same cares they do with their own vehicles and the safety of others. Hertz is one such company that provides rental cars to customers.<\/b> Unfortunately, car accidents will always happen, even to those who rive Hertz vehicles<\/b>. If you need a Hertz car rental auto accident attorney<\/a> or if you need to find out how to sue Hertz for an accident<\/b>, reach out<\/a> to the Downtown LA Law Group today. We’ll help you through your claim and will work to win you every cent you deserve.<\/p>\n

Requirements For A Rental Car<\/h2>\n

If you plan on renting a vehicle from Hertz, you must be able to show that you have valid insurance<\/b>. If your insurance is invalid, expired, or otherwise not active, you will not be able to rent a vehicle. You must also be over the age of 21 (25 in some states) and have a valid driver’s license – not permit or restricted license<\/a>. Hertz will likely offer you a package to cover potential damages to the car and to you and your passengers. Most of the time, the rental company will offer basic collision waivers that will absolve you of any cosmetic damage that happens to the vehicle. You can likely purchase more advanced and expensive packages in some situations. If you do not purchase any insurance from Hertz, you will be held responsible for all the damages that happen to the vehicle and to any third-parties in the event of a crash.<\/p>\n

Sue Hertz For An Accident<\/h2>\n

Individuals who have rented cars from Hertz and gotten into accidents<\/a> may be held fully accountable. You generally will be unable to sue Hertz for a car crash<\/a> as they were not part of the reason for the incident in the first place. However, there are some circumstances in which you can take legal action. For instance, if you were involved in a crash with a Hertz vehicle that was defective in some way or had not been properly inspected, the company could be held liable for the accident and the ensuing damages and injuries. Hertz must inspect all of its vehicles when they return to the lots before being sent out or rented by other customers; if they do not adequately inspect these vehicles, problems may go unnoticed and cause devastating consequences. Further, some Hertz offices may have employees<\/b> who do not care enough about correct business practices. They may allow vehicles to be rented out by those who do not have insurance<\/a> or who have invalid driver’s licenses. Hertz can be targeted in a lawsuit if an accident happens because these drivers should not even be allowed on the street in the first place, and they were given free reign with the rental vehicles. Whether you were operating a Hertz car or if you were in an accident<\/a> with someone who rented a Hertz vehicle, you can take legal action if the situation allows it. Let our Hertz rental car accident lawyers assist you with your claim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hertz Car Accident Information<\/h2>\n

Car accidents happen for various reasons<\/b>, especially when rentals are being used. Some specific reasons for people to get into accidents while driving rental cars include a lack of familiarity with the roads and terrain and with the car itself, using a GPS or phone to navigate, and more. Drivers may not know that there are numerous hills and curves in an area of the city and may be taken aback when faced with them, leading to careless errors. They may also simply not know their way around the vehicle and not realize that a gear shifter is in a different location. Using a phone or GPS system is not limited to rental car drivers, though. Many people wind up on their phones to text or browse apps, which places themselves and others in danger. Inattention while behind the wheel is one of the primary causes of car accidents across the board. Other reasons include:<\/p>\n
