Proper Steps to Take After a Taxicab Accident
The first thing you need to do if you’ve been injured in a taxi accident is to seek medical attention. Either go or be taken to your local emergency room to attend to your injuries. Even if you feel that you’ve made it out unscathed, it’s important to get checked out by a doctor because sometimes serious injuries don’t appear until after the adrenaline has worn off.
After you’ve documented your injuries, call Personal Injury Help Center before speaking to the insurance or cab companies. You may be offered a settlement, but without a lawyer, you can be sure that any amount they offer you is pennies on the dollar of what you’re entitled to. Their job is to pay you the least amount possible and move onto the next case. A good lawyer can deal with the insurance company for you and negotiate a settlement that will better cover your medical bills, lost wages and earning capacity, continuing medical care, and other damages.
Most Common Causes of San Diego Taxi Accidents
San Diego taxicab accidents happen much too often because the city’s main roads are subject to heavy congestion. On any given day you’ll find the following:
- Pedestrians
- Bicycle riders
- Dozens of motor vehicles
- Other taxis and rideshare vehicles
In addition to the actions of other drivers, cab drivers have to deal with the unpredictability of bicycle riders and pedestrians on San Diego’s busy streets. Because we are a tourist town, you’ll find a multitude of taxis on the city’s streets to transport the many visitors, which increases the odds of taxicab accidents.
Going up against a cab company by yourself is never a good idea. They will naturally try to defend a driver’s actions in order to keep insurance rates low and avoid liability for the accident. Their version of the accident and the cause of your injuries may greatly differ from yours because they’re trying to avoid paying you a fair settlement and high insurance rates.
