Your Trusted Chicago Taxi Accident Lawyer
If you were hurt in a taxi accident in Chicago, whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or in another vehicle, you may be facing medical bills and a confusing web of insurance. Furqan Mohammed helps taxi accident victims across Chicago hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue full compensation.
Understanding Your Right to Compensation After a Taxi Accident
A taxi accident follows the same negligence rules as any crash, but taxi companies are held to a high duty of care as common carriers. Taxis and their drivers carry commercial insurance, and identifying the right coverage is often the key to a fair recovery. In most cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim in Illinois (735 ILCS 5/13-202).
Common Causes of Taxi Accidents
Taxi drivers spend long hours on busy city streets, and crashes often trace back to preventable causes, including:
مشغول ڈرائیونگ
Fatigue
تیز رفتاری اور جلدی
Sudden stops and pickups
Poor vehicle maintenance
Who Is Liable and Whose Insurance Applies
A taxi accident can involve several responsible parties: the taxi driver, the cab company that employs or leases to them, and other drivers. Taxi companies carry commercial liability insurance, and as common carriers they owe their passengers a high duty of care. Sorting out who is responsible and which policy applies often requires a lawyer.
As an injured passenger, you are almost never at fault. Illinois follows modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault (735 ILCS 5/2-1116).
