Common Causes of Taxicab Accidents

Whether you are getting a shuttle to the airport or enjoying a night out on the town, accidents can happen at the blink of an eye. Drivers are often tired from working long hours. Dispatchers, exhaustion, GPS systems, music, alcohol and drug abuse, and cell phone use also constantly distract drivers. These distractions can lead to accidents involving improper lane changes, failing to yield right-a-ways, speeding, running red lights, and swerving. Common carriers are also under a duty to maintain their vehicles in a safe condition, but many fail to perform the proper maintenance. When common carriers sole objective is to increase their profits, passengers suffer.

Making A Claim Can Be Stressful

Fighting against drivers or companies can be a stressful experience. Some drivers own the vehicles that they drive and are liable. Others rent their vehicles from the company they drive for, which means both the driver and the company may be liable for your accident. The Krause and Kinsman Law Firm will hold those accountable who have not provided the proper care to you or a loved one when you are trying to reach a destination safe and secure. Injured passengers should never operate under the assumption that the driver or company at fault and their insurance company will fully compensate you for your injuries. It is no secret that insurance companies are more interested in their own protection than they are with the right of injured victims.
