Alamo Rental Car Accident

Car accidents are very common and almost everyone would have been involved or witnessed a car accident at least once in their lifetime.

For example if an individual has been involved in a crash with a rental car, they may not be aware about whether they need to sue and file for damages against the driver or rental car company. Companies like Alamo are into the business of renting cars to customers looking for an alternate mode of transport. Either because their vehicle is damaged and needs repairs or because they are tourists or visitors of the town, and need vehicles for commuting purpose. Many such rental car drivers have crashed with other vehicles or pedestrians and number of people have been injured or lost their lives in these accidents. If you or your family member has been a victim of an Alamo Rental car accident, we at Khashan Law are here to help you handle your lawsuit against Alamo.

A rental car agency like Alamo needs to follow certain guidelines while renting out their cars. Some of the specific laws which govern rental car agencies are:

• The person renting the car should be over the age of 21
• The renter should possess his/her driver’s license and auto insurance
• The rental car company is required to provide a collision coverage waiver, which specifies that in case of an accident, collision damage caused to the car will be handled by the rental car company’s insurance company. This coverage doesn’t include liability, or physical harm or injuries.

This can lead to an increase in the number of rental car accidents, as people know that they cannot be held as responsible as they would have been in case of their own personal car accident.
