Taxi Accidents in Los Angeles - Who is at fault?

If you are a passenger in a taxi, limo or any other similar vehicle, you have certain rights in the event of an accident. Generally speaking, the taxi driver will be presumed negligent in the event of a taxi accident. The only exception may be if the passenger actually caused the accident by jumping out of a moving vehicle, grasping and turning the steering wheel, etc.

An auto accident that a taxi driver simply could not prevent because it was outside of the driver's control may also qualify as a situation where the taxi driver would not be held accountable. Working with an attorney is an important part of building your case against whatever party was responsible for your accident. By investigating your case, reviewing police reports and possibly undergoing an accident reconstruction, a skilled lawyer can work to determine who is at fault and what your case should be worth.
