Taxi Accidents in Boca Raton

Table of Contents

Taxi accidents can occur suddenly, leaving victims with serious trauma and unexpected financial strain. Passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists can all suffer harm in these collisions, which often involve multiple vehicles and negligent drivers. If you were hurt in a wreck like this, an auto collision attorney from Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia should be your first call.

Our team has decades of experience representing those injured in taxi accidents in Boca Raton. We are here to fight for your right to fair compensation while you focus on healing. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, you pay nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

Identifying Negligent Parties in a Taxi Collision

Liability in Boca Raton taxi crashes can be complex. Multiple parties may share responsibility, including the taxi driver, the cab company, or even a third-party driver. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate every case to identify all negligent parties and sources of insurance coverage. Depending on the evidence, those responsible could include:

  • The taxi driver for careless or distracted driving
  • The taxi company for poor maintenance or negligent hiring
  • A manufacturer if a vehicle defect contributed to the crash
  • Another driver whose reckless actions caused the collision

The state follows a comparative negligence rule under Florida Statute § 768.81, meaning that if you share partial fault, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

What Steps Should You Take After a Taxi Accident?

Your actions after a taxi crash can greatly influence your ability to file a successful claim for damages in Boca Raton. We recommend that you take the following steps to protect your rights:

  • Call 911 and request medical help immediately
  • Take photographs of the crash scene, vehicles, and visible injuries
  • Gather contact information for the driver, company, and witnesses
  • Request a copy of the police report
  • Seek prompt medical evaluation, even if symptoms seem minor
  • Contact an attorney before speaking to insurance adjusters

Evidence such as dashcam footage, maintenance logs, and cell phone records can be key to proving fault. Our team handles all evidence collection and negotiations so that you can focus on yourself and your family.

Compensation Available After a Taxi Crash

The compensation available in Boca Raton after a taxi accident depends on the severity of your injuries and their long-term impact on your life. Victims are often entitled to reimbursement for medical costs, rehabilitation expenses, and future care needs.

Compensation may also include lost income, diminished earning capacity, and the physical pain or emotional distress you endure. In cases where the responsible party acted with extreme recklessness or intentional disregard for safety, punitive damages may be available under Fla. Stat. § 768.72.

FAQ

Do I File Against the Driver or the Taxi Company?

It depends, but in most cases, the taxi company is vicariously liable for its driver’s actions. However, if the driver was an independent contractor, separate insurance coverage may apply.

Can I Sue if I Was a Pedestrian Hit by a Taxi?

Yes. Pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists injured in taxi collisions may all be eligible to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim.

How Long Do I Have To File a Taxi Accident Lawsuit?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Consulting an attorney quickly helps preserve evidence and protect your rights. Florida’s no-fault insurance laws may require injured motorists to first seek benefits through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage.

Hear what real clients have to say

As a former member of the US military, specifically special operations, I have been battling the VA for almost 14 years to obtain a 100% rating. Chris Stratton and Melissa Medina were able to get me 100% on the first go around, as my representatives. All I had to do was set the appointment and attend the exam, and they did the rest. I would definitely recommend there dedicated services to our armed forces! Thanks again

I had a hard time writing this review. There is so much I wanted to say. But at the end it comes down to a great attorney Heather Harley. She is what you want and need dealing with the VA.. Attorneys, there are many but few with the compassion and knowledge she has. After many years of not getting anywhere with the VA. she has gotten me to a satisfying outcome. If you are in need of a excellent attorney I recommend Heather Hartley. Once again thank you.

I was very lucky to find the help I needed at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia. With the great team of Attorney David Batista, his Paralegal Alyssa Stephens, and assistants Yorman Gascon, Juliana Garcia, and Daniela Mantilla! they were able to get me a settlement that was retroactive. Even though I was not really looking for payment just a better rating in this case I received both. I could not be happier with this outstanding team - they truly understand the rights and fight for the compensation that all veterans deserve.
