Our Team Helps All People Injured in Taxicab Crashes
As ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft have provided an accessible alternative to the traditional taxicab, the general usage of cabs has decreased (as documented by the Dallas Morning News). And yet, you will still see taxicabs on our streets. You or a loved one may even have been involved in a collision with a taxi.
There are a few scenarios in which you may have been affected by an accident involving a cab:
- You were the passenger in a cab operated by a negligent driver.
- You were the motorist or passenger in another vehicle struck by a taxicab driver.
- You were the passenger in a cab struck by another vehicle.
- You were a pedestrian or bicyclist struck by the driver of a taxicab.
- You lost a loved one, or a loved one became seriously injured, as the result of one of the above scenarios.
In any case, you may have reason to file an insurance claim or lawsuit against one or more parties who have liability for your injuries or loss of a loved one. Our team can help you.
Parties Who May Be Responsible for a Taxicab Accident
Many specific variables can affect who is financially responsible for your taxicab accident in Arlington. Considerations may include whether the driver of the cab was also the owner of the cab, whether they were insured at the time of your collision, how much insurance coverage they had, etc.
Some parties who may be responsible for your losses include:
- The driver of the taxicab
- The driver of another vehicle who struck the taxi in which you were riding
- The employer of a cab driver
- Any other party whose actions or failures contributed to your accident
Your lawyer will also consider whether it was a motorist’s actions or other factors, such as a defective vehicle part or dangerous road conditions, that caused your accident. Such considerations may affect the way that liability is assessed.

Reasons to Hire a Taxicab Accident Attorney
There are several benefits to hiring a lawyer. The value that you find in a personal injury lawyer and their team may depend on the unique challenges that you face. Some possible perks of hiring a legal representative to help with your case include that:

How a Lawyer from Our Firm Can Assist You
Everything that a lawyer does on your behalf will be done with the purpose of securing justice for you or a loved one. In addition to fighting for any compensation that you deserve, your lawyer will defend your rights and complete all steps necessary to resolve a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
Completing the legal or insurance process may call for your lawyer to:
- Survey the scene of your accident
- Gather any evidence related to your accident, such as eyewitness statements or a police report
- Help you file any paperwork necessary to seek a lawsuit or insurance claim at a later date
- Help you find the medical care that you need

A lawyer will aim to secure compensation for you through a settlement, whether it is the result of a claim with your insurance company or a lawsuit. However, a trial may be necessary if you face obstacles to a fair settlement. Your lawyer will be prepared to complete a trial.
If your personal injury attorney completes their goal, then you may secure compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, lost income, costs related to the loss of a loved one, and any other harm that has come to your family because of a taxicab accident.
