When you’re in a car accident with another driver, liability is determined by which driver caused the accident. More often than not, determining who is at fault can be a complex process. This process can become even more complex when a driving service is involved, such as a taxicab. DETERMINE LIABILITY You can be involved in a motor vehicle accident with a taxicab in two ways: when a taxi strikes your vehicle or when you’re a passenger in the taxi at the time of an accident. In either case, liability comes down to the primary cause of the incident, including:
involved in an accident as a taxi passenger, your case is considered a passenger car accident injury case. The goal of your case, regardless of which type, is to gain full and fair compensation for everyone involved.

Without an attorney representing injured claimants, the insurers could remain gridlocked until the injured party agrees to accept an unfair settlement. TAKE ACTION The first thing you should do after an accident is document the scene as much as possible. Take photos, write down witness contact information, ask for insurance information for all drivers involved, and record all your injuries.

If you or someone you know was involved in a taxicab accident, call our office to speak to one of our attorneys today.

UNDERSTAND THE TYPE OF CASE When a taxi strikes your vehicle, it is considered a typical two-car accident case. To win this case, you need to prove two things: first, that the taxi driver who struck you was, in some way, negligent in their driving, and second, that you were injured in the accident and to what extent.
