Frequently Asked Questions About Taxi Accident Claims in Pompano Beach, FL

Why are taxi accidents so common in Pompano Beach?

Taxi accidents can happen just like any other car accident, although the causes of these accidents may be slightly different. While lack of training can contribute to taxi accidents, in general, taxi drivers tend to spend long hours in the taxi and, therefore, on the roads—meaning that driver fatigue often plays a role in taxi accidents. Taxi drivers are also financially motivated to maximize their profits while on the clock and may drive aggressively, speed or fail to obey traffic signals in an effort to get passengers to a location more quickly. Some taxi drivers may abuse prescription drugs or alcohol to stay awake while in the vehicle and can be distracted by texting or talking on the phone while transporting a passenger.

What types of compensation can I obtain in a personal injury lawsuit if I was injured in a taxi accident?

Our taxicab crash attorneys in Pompano Beach, FL will fight to recover both economic and non-economic damages in your case. Economic damages for injuries sustained in a taxi accident include your expenses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitative care, household services and property damage. Non-economic damages represent the more intangible aspects of your damages, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life or loss of the company of a loved one in a wrongful death case. Punitive damages may be available in taxi accident cases if the driver’s behavior was especially shocking or intentional, and are available in situations where the courts deem it appropriate to punish the driver for those actions.
