San Antonio Taxi Accident Lawyer

San Antonio Taxi Accidents

Being injured as a passenger in a taxi accident can be frightening. To determine whether you have grounds for a lawsuit, contact a taxi accident attorney in San Antonio to have your case investigated.

Although rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft have taken over the majority of business for taxi drivers, you can still find taxis on the streets of large cities like San Antonio. Unlike rideshares, taxis are a convenient form of transportation you can use with no phone or credit card. What may not cross your mind when you get into a taxi, however, is how you’d handle a taxi accident.

If you’ve been injured while riding in a taxi in San Antonio, you can sue the liable party for any damages you’ve suffered. A San Antonio taxi accident lawyer from Crain Brogdon, LLP. can investigate your case to determine whether the taxi driver is to blame for your injuries or someone else is responsible. We’ll increase your injury settlement by negotiating on your behalf and proving negligence. 

Contributing Factors to Taxi Accidents in San Antonio

Many factors contribute to San Antonio taxi accidents like yours.

The taxi driver could have caused your accident if they were speeding, improperly changing lanes, driving under the influence, distracted behind the wheel, or failing to yield to a pedestrian or another vehicle at an intersection. A manufacturer defect could have caused your accident if the driver’s brakes malfunctioned or the engine cut off.

Alternatively, a government entity may be responsible for the wreck if a roadway hazard caused the accident. If another driver hit your taxi, it’s likely that the colliding driver or an issue involving their vehicle caused the wreck. Your taxi accident lawyer in San Antonio will investigate and use the police report, photographs, video footage, and witness testimonies to determine who’s at fault. 

Damages You Can Recover in Your San Antonio Taxi Accident Lawsuit

If you determine that the taxi driver was responsible for the accident, it’s possible that you can sue the driver and the taxi company that employs them. Identifying all liable parties is crucial to maximizing your claim. Once you’ve named the defendants in your case, your San Antonio taxi accident attorney will help you assess your damages and calculate these damages into your overall claim value.

When assessing your damages, include both financial losses and intangible losses. Financial losses, known as economic damages, may include medical expenses and lost wages from missing work. Intangible losses, known as non-economic damages, may include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, emotional distress, and scarring and disfigurement.
