Taxi Cab Accidents

Experienced Legal Help for Taxi Cab Accident Victims

Riding in a taxi should be convenient and safe — but when drivers act carelessly or companies cut corners, passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists can suffer serious injuries. Taxi cab accidents are complex, involving multiple parties such as drivers, cab companies, insurers, and sometimes even municipalities.

At Attorney4People, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that follows a serious taxi accident. Our Long Beach personal injury attorneys are here to guide you through every step of the legal process. We fight to ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable and that you receive full compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Common Causes of Taxi Cab Accidents

Taxi drivers spend long hours on the road under pressure to meet passenger demand. Unfortunately, this often leads to dangerous driving behaviors. Common causes of taxi cab accidents include:

• Distracted Driving: Using phones, navigation systems, or radios while driving.
• Fatigued Driving: Long shifts and lack of rest increase the risk of collisions.
• Speeding and Reckless Driving: Trying to reach destinations quickly to maximize fares.
• Failure to Obey Traffic Signals: Running red lights, illegal turns, or improper lane changes.
• Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Faulty brakes, tires, or steering due to company negligence.
• Negligent Hiring or Training: Companies may employ drivers with poor records or insufficient training.

Taxi accidents can involve passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, or other drivers — and determining liability often requires a thorough legal investigation.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Taxi Cab Accident?

Unlike typical car crashes, taxi accidents often involve multiple potentially liable parties, including:

• The Taxi Driver: For careless or reckless driving that caused the crash.
• The Taxi Company or Fleet Owner: For poor maintenance, negligent hiring, or overworking drivers.
• Third-Party Drivers: If another motorist caused or contributed to the collision.
• Vehicle or Parts Manufacturers: If a defect played a role in the crash.
• Municipal Entities: In rare cases, if poorly maintained roads or inadequate signage contributed to the accident.

Our legal team investigates every angle to determine who is responsible — and ensures that no party escapes accountability.

Common Injuries from Taxi Cab Accidents

Taxi cab collisions can cause severe and long-lasting injuries, including:

• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Spinal cord and back injuries
• Head and brain injuries (TBI)
• Internal bleeding or organ damage
• Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
• Psychological trauma, anxiety, and PTSD

Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s important to seek medical care immediately. Early documentation helps link your injuries directly to the accident and strengthens your claim.

Compensation Available for Victims

Victims of taxi cab accidents may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, such as:

• Medical expenses: Hospital stays, surgery, rehabilitation, and therapy.
• Lost wages: For time missed from work and reduced earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional distress.
• Property damage: Reimbursement for damaged vehicles or belongings.
• Permanent disability or disfigurement: For long-term or life-altering injuries.
• Loss of enjoyment of life: When your ability to participate in daily activities is affected.

At Attorney4People, we work with experts in accident reconstruction, medicine, and economics to ensure every loss is documented and valued accurately.
