Two Main Causes of Los Angeles Taxi Accidents

There are two main causes of taxi accidents when it comes to personal injury. First, there are those that cause passenger injuries within the taxi. Second, there are those that cause damage to other vehicles and/or pedestrians nearby. Both causes of taxi accidents can cause significant harm and bodily injury. 

Some types of taxi accidents include:

Wondering what to do after a Los Angeles taxi accident? First and foremost, you must ensure that you receive medical attention and call the authorities. This is because your safety, and the safety of those around you, must be taken care of first. 

Then, it’s important to have an official record of what occurred and the scene of the accident. Police will record this information, and it will be useful when building your case.


Common Injuries Caused by Los Angeles Taxi Accidents

It’s typical to see some pretty harrowing injuries from these accidents, especially bicycle and pedestrian accidents. These victims will face mountains of medical bills and a long road to recovery. Other common injuries caused by a taxi accident include: 

  1. Broken bones
  2. Burns
  3. Cuts and lacerations
  4. Spinal injuries, like whiplash
  5. Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

  9. Bruising
  10. Anxiety/ depression

Injuries from a taxi accident in Los Angeles can change the victim’s lives. Instead of paying for a new home or sending your children to college, now you might have to put that hard-earned savings towards surgeries, medication, and physical therapy. In some cases, you might not even be able to return to work. That’s where the help of a Los Angeles personal injury attorney comes in as you take the first steps in filing a taxi accident injury claim.


First Steps in Filing a Taxi Accident Injury Claim

If you were injured as a result of a taxi accident, the first step in filing a claim is calling 310-INJURED and setting up a free case evaluation and consultation with an attorney at Lerner and Rowe. We will listen to your story and determine whether or not you have a case- and who was ultimately negligible for your injuries. 

Taxi accidents are unique because there’s a higher chance that multiple parties may be responsible for your injuries. For example, possible negligible parties may or may not include:

  • The taxi driver, if he owns his own vehicle
  • The taxi company
  • A manufacturer for faulty taxi parts
  • The other driver who hit the taxi
  • The trucking company (if a truck struck the taxi)
  • Your taxi’s company AND the other driver
  • Your taxi’s company AND the truck company
  • The truck company that owns the truck that hit your taxi AND the manufacturer of the faulty seatbelt that didn’t secure you

As you can see, the case can get more and more complicated the deeper you dive into the evidence. An experienced lawyer knows the tips and tricks behind finding the final cause of your accident and determining an appropriate amount of compensation for your injuries.


Los Angeles Taxi Accident Lawyers Help Win Compensation

The taxi accident injury attorneys at Lerner and Rowe can help you win that financial compensation, both replacing the economic damages from your accident and supplementing non-economic damages that are much more difficult to calculate. In other words, financial compensation can cover:

  1. Medical bills
  2. Lost wages
  3. Future lost wages
  4. Surgeries
  5. Prescription medication
  6. Pain and suffering
  7. Long term care
  8. Loss of companionship
  9. Physical therapy
  10. Mental health therapy
  11. And many more. 

Without an attorney, you may miss an important aspect that you deserve to be compensated for. And, you’d have to face the taxi company, insurance companies, and potentially other professional entities in negotiations (and possibly in court).
