If you’re a city driver, then odds are you see a lot of cabs. While cabs are normally convenient and useful, accidents still happen. Even with the most experienced and careful drivers, even one second of negligence can lead to an accident. So, what can you do if an Austin Cab Company driver hits you? Here is what you need to know about filing a personal injury suit if you’re injured in an accident involving a taxi driver.

Gathering Information on the Scene

If you suffered any injuries, then your first line of action needs to be to get yourself medical care. If you can wait until after you gathered action, feel free to wait, but never skip out on medical attention. Even if you feel fine, it could simply be the adrenaline. A lot of victims in car accidents report feeling fine until they get home later on, in which case, the pain from the injuries begins to surface.

While on the scene, if there are any injuries or if there is any damage to your car, then it’s time to take pictures of the accident. Take pictures from all angles and talk to those that witnessed the accident. You should also exchange information with the driver, take down license plate information and make sure that you have as much information about the accident as possible.

Determining Who Is Liable

While it’s best to discuss liability with your lawyer, there are some basic things to note about liability when it comes to cab companies. If a driver is negligent in an accident involving a cab, then the company is responsible for the accident. Now, if both drivers are at fault, then the company may only pay a partial amount, but the company has to cover the cab driver.

Contacting an Attorney

No matter who is liable in a car accident, it’s crucial to contact an attorney. You may want to talk to a lawyer before you contact the insurance company. Your lawyer will give you advice on what to say, to ensure that the cab company’s insurance does not twist your words. An attorney can walk you through the process of filing a claim and how to carry yourself in regards to the other insurance company.

If an Austin Cab Company driver has hit you, there are options available. While you should handle it similarly to a normal car accident, keep in mind that the cab company is liable. This will change whose insurance you file the claim against. To understand your case better, contact a car accident lawyer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today!
