As a driver or pedestrian on the road, you should not have to worry about professional cab drivers causing an accident. However, taxis cause accidents on a regular basis. Some of the most common taxi accidents include:
Drivers running into a pedestrian crossing the street
Drivers contributing to a two-vehicle accident
Multiple-vehicle accidents, such as rear-endings
Drivers injuring a passenger in transit or at a stop (i.e., rolling over a passenger’s foot or contributing to a two-vehicle accident)
Passengers suffering injuries as the result of a poorly maintained taxi
Accidents caused by other drivers or hazardous conditions on the roads
Taxi passengers are not liable for accidents. Only drivers and other responsible parties will face financial liability in these cases. If multiple people were in a taxi at the time of the accident, each injured individual can file a claim against the driver or the company.
