After a taxi cab accident, you (or your loved one) might be able to sue the liable party. Through legal action, you could recover more of your damages than you’d be able to get through an insurance settlement. First, however, you’d have to prove the taxi company or its driver is liable.
If you let the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine file your lawsuit, our Orlando taxi cab accident lawyers will take care of everything. We may even be able to sue to resolve your Orlando personal injury lawsuit. You can learn more during a free consultation with our team members today.
How Can an Orlando Taxi Cab Accident Lawyer Help Me Receive Compensation?
A Orlando car accident lawyer from our firm can help you receive financial awards after an accident, depending on the circumstances of your case. For one, they can show you other compensation options in your taxi cab accident case. These options may let you recover more of your damages.
In your case, you may not have to file a claim through your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. Instead, you could file a personal injury lawsuit against the other party, the taxi company or the driver. Through this action, you might recover more of your damages, including non-financial damages. For example, if you were a motorist, a passenger, or another party hurt in the accident, you could pursue this option.
Our attorney can pursue and negotiate a fair settlement that covers your damages, which could include any of the following:
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses
- Vehicle repair bills, if applicable
- Expenses for other personal property repairs
- Loss of consortium
- Physical, mental, and emotional suffering
- Income lost due to an impairment or a disability
- Wrongful death damages if a loved one suffered fatal injuries in the accident
How Much Compensation Can I Get for My Orlando Taxi Accident?
This depends on the extent of your losses and the value of certain damages. These particular damages are your non-financial and future damages, such as the suffering you’ve experienced and the income loss you may experience.
Determining the value of such damages can be challenging for a claimant, but our Orlando taxi cab accident attorneys can handle this task for you.
How Will My Orlando Taxi Cab Accident Lawyer Prove Liability?
First, we must identify the party liable for your damages, which could be a taxi company, the cab driver, or even another party. If a taxi company employs the cab driver, that company may be liable. However, if the driver is self-employed, the driver could be liable. We will pursue compensation from the liable party’s insurance.
Once our attorney identifies the liable party, they must prove how the party is liable for the crash. To do this, they must present evidence of the party’s negligence. This evidence could come from many sources, such as data-recording technology within the taxi vehicle.
Our Orlando taxi cab attorney must also prove the four elements of negligence by showing that:
- The other party was responsible for your safety (For example, the taxi company was responsible for hiring a driver that would drive safely.)
- The party was irresponsible (For instance, the taxi company hired a reckless driver.)
- The irresponsible action led to the accident.
- The accident led to your damages, which you should receive compensation for (e.g., your medical bills and lost income)
How Can an Orlando Taxi Cab Accident Lawyer Resolve My Case?
This depends on what you and your lawyer decide. This decision is whether to file an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. If you and your lawyer decide to file an insurance claim, your lawyer will file it for you and seek to negotiate your settlement with the liable party’s insurer. During negotiations, your lawyer will represent your needs and hold the insurer accountable. If the insurer denies your compensation, your lawyer can explore options to sue their client (the other party).
If you and your attorney decide to pursue a lawsuit, they can file it immediately or later. By leaving it for later, your lawyer may be able to use it as leverage to negotiate a settlement with the insurer. If your lawyer files a lawsuit at any point, your lawyer can seek your financial recovery at trial.
