Motor Vehicle Accident
Every single year, the city of Bakersfield, California reports an increase in its population. With this increase in population, also comes the need for various transportation methods to get around the city. Taxicabs are widely used in the city of Bakersfield, especially because businesses and buildings stretch across several miles. Taxi cabs offer a great way for visitors to get around the town. But, being involved in a taxi accident in Bakersfield could be a very stressful experience.
Some of the most common questions we receive from taxi cab accident victims are: Who is responsible for a taxi cab accident? Could I receive compensation for my taxi cab injuries in Bakersfield? Can I hold the taxi cab company responsible for a taxi cab accident?
If you or someone you know has been injured in a taxi cab accident in Bakersfield, contact our attorneys to see how you can get one-on-one personalized legal care and attention. Our experienced taxi cab accident attorneys have an office in Bakersfield and are available by phone 24/7 to answer any questions that you may have regarding your taxi cab accident lawsuit.
There are several different types of taxis that could be seen in Bakersfield. For example, there are your traditional taxis that are used every day, there are also airport taxis that specifically take riders from Meadows Field Airport to other airports, such as the San Francisco International Airport. Besides your traditional taxis, Bakersfield also has rideshare applications such as Uber or Lyft.
Should I hire a taxi cab accident attorney in Bakersfield?
Taxi cab accidents could get a little bit complex, especially because there are so many parties involved. For example, you may have the driver of the other vehicle. You may also have the driver of the taxicab in which you are a passenger. The other driver and the taxi cab driver could be pointing the blame at one another. In that case, you may ask yourself, how can I hold the taxi cab driver responsible for my injuries?
- If you were involved in a taxi cab accident as a passenger, contact our top-rated attorneys. Our top-rated attorneys will investigate the circumstances of the taxi cab accident to determine who the cause of the accident was. There are several different ways we could determine the responsible party in a taxi cab accident, such as:
- Investigating the accident location
- Taking photos of the accident location
- Reviewing photos of any property damage or the accident collision
- Reviewing your medical records stating the injuries from the accident
- Interviewing eyewitnesses who may have seen the accident
- Interviewing any other parties that were involved in the accident
- Reviewing records and documents of vehicles with our top-rated accident experts
- Reviewing any Bakersfield Police accident reports
Above are just some steps that our attorneys could take one reviewing your Bakersfield taxi accident lawsuit. However, this may change depending on the circumstances. For example, in hit-and-run accidents, there may not be an accident report written by the Bakersfield Police Department. For more information, and to see what we should do in your specific case, contact our cab accident attorneys.
Can I file a claim against the taxi driver or the taxi company?
If you have been involved in an accident in a cab or taxi in Bakersfield, you may be able to get compensated for your injuries. But, the claim that you make depends on the circumstances of the accident. For example:
- If the taxi driver was working within the scope of their duties when the accident occurred, you may be able to hold the taxi company responsible.
- If the taxi driver was not clocked on at the time of the accident, then you may not be able to file a claim against the taxi company.
- If the taxi driver engaged in intentional actions, such as assault or battery, you may not be able to file a claim against the taxi company.
- If the accident was caused by a defect in the taxi vehicle, then you may not be able to file a claim against the taxi driver or the taxi company.
- If the accident was caused by poor road conditions, then you may not be able to file a claim against the taxi driver or the taxi company.
What if I was also responsible for my Bakersfield taxi cab accident injuries?
In some cases, accident victims may be partially responsible themselves because they were not wearing their seatbelt at the time of the accident. However, the most common misconception about accidents is that the victim cannot recover compensation if they are partially responsible. That is not the case. For example, if you were not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the taxi cab accident in Bakersfield, you may still be able to get compensated and file a claim against the responsible party in Bakersfield. However, the amount in compensation that you recover from the other negligent party may be reduced. For more information on California’s comparative negligence laws, give our highly-rated Bakersfield attorneys a call.
What compensation could I receive for my Bakersfield taxi cab accident injuries?
The amount of compensation you receive depends on the severity of your injuries and the impact that the injuries will have on your daily life. For example, a taxicab accident victim who has suffered a permanent disability may not be able to return back to work and may need more compensation. Examples of compensation include:
- The cost to repair the vehicle
- The cost to replace the vehicle
- The cost to repair any property damage, such as laptops, that may have been damaged in the accident
- Medical expenses
- Medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Future lost income
Since each circumstance is different, we encourage you to contact our highly rated lawyers and legal staff for more information.
Is there a time limit for filing my taxi cab accident claim?
With any type of lawsuit in California, there is a time limit on when you must file your claim. If you do not file your claim on time, you will lose your right to establish recovery. In taxi cab accidents, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim against the responsible party.
But, if the responsible party was the government entity in the city of Bakersfield, then this time limit may be shortened. Give us a call today to determine who the responsible party is. Keep in mind that the faster you act, the better it is for your case. The longer you wait, the harder it could be to gather evidence about the accident.
