Don't Suffer the Financial Consequences of Negligence

Many taxi cab passengers have more pronounced personal injuries from an accident than would passengers of a normal private vehicle. This is because many occupants do not wear a seatbelt while riding in a cab, or because the interior of a taxi car contains a partition that the occupants may strike in an accident. Passengers in cabs can be injured due to negligent operation of the cab, but other drivers of their personal vehicle can be injured as well if a cab collides with their vehicle. In addition, some cab accidents occur while you are entering or exiting the vehicle.

The personal injury claim for a taxi cab accident may seem like it would be the same as any other personal injury claim, but it is not. When you have been injured due to a cab driver’s negligence, you will not be dealing with a private person’s auto insurance company. Instead, you will be up against the cab company and their liability insurance company, who will try to minimize and delay your settlement.
