Common Causes of Dallas Taxi Accidents

Taxi cab accidents can happen for numerous reasons. However, many taxi cab accidents are caused by drivers rushing to and from destinations, including:

• Speeding to pick up a new ride or to get a passenger to their destination.
• Running red lights at an intersection.
• Not stopping at an intersection.
• Tailgating other vehicles.
• Aggressively changing lanes.
• Refusing to yield the right of way to other motorists.
• Distracted driving.
• Driving under the influence.

Proving the cause of your taxi accident is essential to building your case and recovering damages. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate motor vehicle accidents to help determine all possible causes and potentially liable parties to help you recover maximum compensation.

We use numerous types of evidence to determine and prove the cause of your Dallas taxi accident. We may use eyewitness testimony, police reports, video footage from surveillance and traffic cameras, dashcam video, and electronic data recording devices.

Taxis are considered Common Carriers in Texas and owe a higher standard of care than other motorists. They must exercise more care while driving their passengers than other drivers.

Injuries Sustained in Dallas Taxi Accidents

Injuries sustained in a Dallas taxi accident may vary from minor to life-altering. Some common injuries include:

• Whiplash.
• Strains and sprains.
• Broken bones.
• Head injuries.
• Neck and back injuries.
• Lacerations.
• Internal bleeding.
• Wrongful death.

Even if you think your injuries are minor, you should promptly seek medical attention. Many times, serious injuries are not immediately apparent. A medical evaluation immediately after an accident can help protect your health and your right to recover compensation for your damages.

Compensation Recoverable After Dallas Taxi Accidents

The amount and type of compensation you may recover after a Dallas taxi accident depends mainly on the extent of your injuries.

In a successful Dallas taxi accident claim, you should be able to recover economic damages such as current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses incurred because of your accident and injuries.

You should also be able to recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, and other intangible losses and damages.

Only in rare cases can you recover punitive damages, also known as exemplary damages.

At Bush & Bush Law Group, our attorneys work hard to recover all available damages and maximize your compensation. We often use medical and economic experts to help accurately value your damages so we can determine a fair settlement of your case.

Who Is Liable in a Dallas Taxi Accident?

Liability depends on fault. If a taxi driver is at fault, they will be liable. Additionally, a taxi driver’s employer, the taxi cab company, may be liable too.

Other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians may be at fault. If mechanical failure contributed to the accident, the manufacturer of a part or piece of equipment may be liable.

Even a government agency, such as the entity responsible for negligently maintained or defectively designed roads, may be liable.

We carefully investigate your accident to identify all possible causes and all sources of compensation that could provide compensation for your damages. We also conduct thorough discovery to locate and collect essential evidence to prove causation, liability, and damages.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Dallas Taxi Accident?

The statute of limitations sets the filing deadline for recovering compensation for your damages. If you miss your filing deadline, you cannot recover compensation.

The statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in Texas is two years from the accident date. However, there are exceptions to the two-year deadline. You must consult an experienced Dallas taxi accident lawyer promptly to determine your filing deadline.

You also need to act promptly so your attorney can take action to preserve important evidence before it is lost, destroyed, or diminished.
