When is a Motorist at Fault?
A single year in Illinois can see more than 5,000 taxi accidents, per the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) (p.47). An unknown number of those accidents stem from a taxi driver’s negligence.
A taxi driver owes you a duty of safety. So does any other driver who might strike the taxi that you are in. A motorist is negligent if they act in an unreasonable manner that causes harm to others.
A motorist is generally liable if they caused your accident by:
- Speeding
- Making an illegal maneuver
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Tailgating
- Driving an unsafe vehicle
A motorist—your taxi driver or another party—may owe you compensation if they contributed to your collision. By causing your taxi accident, they caused your injuries and related losses.
How Cullotta Bravo Law Group Will Assist You
Our team understands the complexities of taxi accidents. Unlike some other accident types, taxi accident cases can involve multiple defendants. We may sue:
- The taxi driver
- The taxi company
- Another specific employee
- A vehicle or part manufacturer
- A governmental entity
Our firm determines liability for you. We will identify every party who owes you compensation. We complete every duty necessary to resolve your case, including:
- Communicating with insurance companies
- Determining whether you should complete an insurance claim or bring a lawsuit
- Drafting and filing all case-related paperwork
- Making appearances on your behalf
- Hiring experts to help with your case
- Documenting injuries, lost income, and other losses
- Completing settlement negotiations
- Defending you from anyone who would violate your rights
The American Bar Association (ABA) lists settlements as the most common outcome for civil cases. When we can’t settle a case, we fight hard for the client at trial.
Our goal for every case is fair compensation. This will be our target for you or a loved one injured in a taxi accident. We also handle wrongful death claims.
We Help All Types of Victims
You may be eligible for compensation if you:
- Suffered injuries while riding in a taxi
- Suffered injuries while driving or riding in a vehicle struck by a taxi
- Were struck while getting into or out of a taxi
- Were struck by a taxi as a pedestrian
You may also sue for wrongful death if your loved one died in a taxi accident. The specific circumstances of your accident may determine who is liable for your losses.
