• Pedestrians struck by a taxi cab while walking or crossing the street.
• Other drivers or motorists involved in a collision with a taxi.

How We Handle Taxi Cab Accident Cases

Taxi cab accident claims can be complicated because they often involve not just the individual driver, but also the taxi cab company and one or more insurance companies. Taxi cab companies and their insurers often move quickly to limit their liability. Don’t let them get a head start by waiting too long to take legal action yourself.

We know how to stand up to taxi companies and insurance adjusters by:

• Investigating the crash thoroughly to determine fault.
• Gathering evidence such as police reports, video footage, and witness testimony.
• Handling all communications and negotiations with insurers and company representatives.
• Preparing every case as if it will go to trial, so insurance companies know we are ready to fight.

Common Causes of Taxi Cab Accidents

Taxi drivers often spend long hours on busy roads. Sometimes, the pressure to complete more fares can lead to unsafe driving behaviors. In other cases, everyday forms of driver negligence can cause a wreck that leaves people injured. 

Common causes of taxi cab accidents include:

• Distracted driving, such as using a phone or searching for fares
• Speeding or reckless driving to quickly reach passengers
• Driver fatigue from long or overnight shifts
• Ignoring traffic laws, such as running lights or making unsafe turns

Compensation Available in Taxi Cab Accident Cases

You might be able to demand compensation that helps pay for:

• Medical expenses for emergency treatment and ongoing care
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage, including vehicle repairs or replacement
