PASSENGER INJURED IN TAXI CAB CAR ACCIDENT – LAWYERS
Our lawyers have 25 years’ experience representing people injured in car crashes throughout Minnesota. Of course, this includes a passenger in a taxi cab or who someone hit by a taxi.
In one case, our client was a passenger in a taxi driven on a city street. She had just gotten off work and decided to take a taxi home. After picking her up, the taxi headed westbound on Golden Valley Road near the intersection of Russel Avenue north. The driver of the other vehicle was headed east on the same road. As both vehicles approached the intersection, the light for each of them was green. As both vehicles entered the intersection, the oncoming car made a left-hand turn in front of the taxi. Unfortunately, the taxi driver did not react in time, and the two vehicles collided.
In this case, the taxi was driving too fast and should have been able to avoid the crash. Further, the impact to the taxi cab would have been less if they were driving slower.
Our assessment of fault in the collision is 80% to the oncoming car for failure to yield. In other words, 20% fault goes to the taxi driver for driving too fast and not avoiding the collision. Unfortunately, the other car was uninsured. However, our auto accident lawyers were still able to get full compensation for our client from the taxi’s insurance. Taxis have certain licensing requirements in Minnesota, including the requirement to be insured. Here is the link: https://www.dmv.org/mn-minnesota/special-licenses.php. Our client’s medical bills were paid and she received additional compensation for pain and suffering.
