How Taxi Accidents Can Lead to Serious Injuries

Taxi accidents can result in severe and sometimes life-altering injuries. Studies show that taxi passengers often face a higher risk of injury compared to other vehicle occupants. Common injuries include:

  • Broken bones

  • Whiplash

  • Lacerations and cuts

  • Concussions

  • Back and spinal injuries

  • Scarring and disfigurement

  • Amputations

  • Fatal injuries

While all passengers are at risk when riding in a vehicle, taxi passengers expect a higher level of protection and duty of care from their drivers.

Common Causes of Taxi Accidents in Los Angeles

Despite the rise of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, taxis remain a popular mode of transportation in Los Angeles. With thousands of taxis operating across the city, accidents can happen due to driver negligence. Some common causes include:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

  • Distracted driving (texting, using a GPS, etc.)

  • Running red lights or failing to obey traffic signs

  • Speeding or reckless driving

  • Driver fatigue from long working hours

Understanding Duty of Care in Taxi Accidents

Taxi drivers and companies have a legal duty of care to ensure passenger safety. When they fail to uphold this responsibility, they may be held liable for injuries resulting from their negligence.

For example, if a taxi driver is speeding and rear-ends another vehicle, causing a passenger to suffer neck and back injuries, they may be held responsible for failing to provide adequate safety measures.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Taxi Accident?

Determining liability in a taxi accident can be complex. Potentially responsible parties may include:

  • The taxi driver

  • The taxi company

  • The manufacturer of a defective taxi part (in cases of mechanical failure)

What Compensation Can You Receive?

If you’ve been injured in a taxi accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (hospital bills, rehabilitation, therapy, etc.)

  • Lost wages and reduced earning potential

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
