In fact, in major cities, the job longevity of cab drivers has steadily increased since the early 1990s. Since drivers with more experience tend to drive in a more skilled, safer manner, taxicab accidents are less likely to occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, taxicab drivers are involved in their share of accidents, just like rideshare drivers and all the rest of us who drive every day are involved in auto accidents.\u00a0 If you have been involved in an auto accident while in an Arizona taxicab, liability issues are much more complex, requiring an experienced Arizona taxi-cab lawyer from Ciccarelli Law Offices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Choose the Arizona Taxicab Accident Lawyers from Ciccarelli Law Offices?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have found yourself injured, perhaps even unable to work following a taxicab accident in Arizona, the issues of liability and the extent of your injuries can result in significant difficulties.

In that case, you may be looking at long-term injuries and possibly an inability to return to the job you had at the time of the accident. While every auto accident is unique, most injured accident victims can seek to collect both special and general damages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special damages include those damages that are easy to quantify or place an exact monetary value on. You have receipts for your medical expenses, including a hospital stay, ambulance ride, surgeries, prescription drugs, physicians, and rehabilitative therapies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these medical expenses are reimbursable. If your injuries are severe enough that you will have medical expenses for a significant length of time, you are entitled to future medical expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are also entitled to lost wages if you were unable to return to work for weeks or months following your taxicab accident, you are entitled to lost wages. If your injuries are so severe that you may not be able to return to work for a very long time, you may also be entitled to future lost wages. Your future lost wages will be determined based on your education, current position, and the likely trajectory of your career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain and suffering damages fall under general damages because they are less easy to quantify. Both physical pain and emotional pain are extremely subjective, making them difficult to place a specific financial amount on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General damages may be figured by using a multiplier from 1.5-5.0. The total amount of special damages is multiplied by the chosen multiplier, which is determined by the extent of your injuries and other factors regarding the accident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were riding in a taxicab, you have no specific property damages; however, you may seek punitive damages under certain circumstances. Punitive damages are only awarded in cases where the defendant acted in a particularly malicious or willful manner. Punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant and deter the same behavior in others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona Insurance Laws Regarding Taxicab Accidents<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All vehicles in the state of Arizona are required to carry basic liability insurance, including taxicabs. Liability insurance protects the driver against damages to property or other people. If the taxicab driver is independent and does not have insurance, then your own uninsured motorist coverage may be responsible for your injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the taxicab driver works for a company, then the company should carry at least minimum liability coverage. Arizona&#8217;s law requires taxi drivers to insure their vehicle based on capacity and since most vehicles hold no more than three passengers, the amount of insurance is usually set at a minimum of $300,000. Although more coverage can be purchased, most taxi companies go with the minimum amount of coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are the Most Common Injuries Associated with Taxicab Accidents?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injuries sustained in a taxicab accident are likely to be much like those you might have if you were to have an accident in your vehicle\/\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broken bones and fractures are common, as are puncture wounds and internal injuries. Whiplash injuries and other soft tissue injuries are also common in any vehicle accident, as are other neck and back injuries. More serious injuries like spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries are also commonly seen among taxicab accident victims. These types of injuries can cause long-term, lasting damage that results in hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are the Most Common Causes of Taxicab Accidents?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taxicab accidents occur for a number of reasons, just as \u201cregular\u201d auto accidents occur for a variety of reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Distracted driving is an ever-increasing cause of auto accidents. Distracted drivers are everywhere, talking on their phones, texting or reading texts, eating entire meals, talking to passengers, looking down to change car controls or GPS settings, and turning around to see what the children or pets are doing in the back seat. In addition to distracted driving, driving while impaired or overly drowsy, or driving recklessly or carelessly can all cause accidents, including taxicab accidents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other common causes of taxicab accidents could include poor maintenance on the taxicab or other vehicle, inclement weather, design defects on roadways, defective car parts, or even an animal on the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the accident was the direct fault of the taxicab driver, then the driver and their company may be held liable. If the other driver caused the accident, then their insurer will be responsible for your damages and those of the taxicab driver and taxicab company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should You Do Immediately After an Arizona Taxicab Accident?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following your Arizona taxicab accident, you must ensure everyone involved in the accident receives medical attention, including yourself. You may mistakenly believe you are not hurt. This is because the body floods with adrenaline during an accident, which can often mask injury symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes if you are on vacation or a business trip. Nonetheless, you must receive prompt medical treatment\u2014both for your own health, as well as for your future claim for damages. If you are able medically to take photographs at the scene of the accident and obtain witness information, definitely do so. You will need to contact your own insurance company once you are home. You will also benefit greatly from contacting an experienced personal injury attorney from Ciccarelli Law Offices to handle the legalities of your claim while you focus on healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call Our Arizona Taxicab Accident Lawyers Today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or someone you love suffered an injury in a taxi or cab accident in Phoenix, Chandler, Tempe, or anywhere in Arizona, you need someone on your side that you can trust.
