Taxi accidents present unique legal challenges due to the complex relationships between drivers, taxi companies, passengers, and other motorists on the road. Whether you're a passenger injured in a taxi, a pedestrian struck by a taxi, or another driver involved in a collision with a taxi, understanding your rights is essential to recovering fair compensation.
Common causes of taxi accidents include driver fatigue from long shifts, distracted driving while using dispatch systems or GPS, aggressive driving to reach destinations quickly, and inadequate vehicle maintenance by taxi companies. Passengers place their trust in taxi drivers to transport them safely, and when that trust is violated, serious injuries can result.
Determining liability in taxi accident cases often involves multiple parties including the taxi driver, the taxi company, other motorists, and various insurance policies. Taxi companies may try to claim drivers are independent contractors to avoid responsibility, but our legal team knows how to pierce these corporate shields and hold all negligent parties accountable.
