Tucson Limousine
Accident Lawyer

When you get into a limo, you should feel safe and free to relax for your night out. But when an accident interrupts your carefree night, it can be disappointing and stressful. Not only is your night out ruined, but you may also be injured from the crash.

It could be the fault of the limo driver or another driver on the road. But regardless of who’s responsible, you’re now hurt because of other people’s negligence. If you or a loved one have been in an accident while riding in a limousine, our lawyers can help assess your injuries and fight for compensation.

Who Can Be at Fault in a Limo Accident?

Limos are public property, so more people are responsible for them. With more people accountable, more people can be at fault. Arizona is an at-fault state so the party responsible for the accident will pay for your damages.

Usually, the insurance provider will decide who is at fault for the accident based on the details of the crash. In addition, Arizona has a pure comparative fault rule that allows the fault to be split between the parties responsible for the crash. However, as a passenger in a limo, the process may be different; your lawyer can go over this with you.

The Limo Driver

The limousine driver is primarily responsible for your safety in the limo. So they may be at fault for the accident, whether their fault is due to being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, or engaging in reckless driving.

When limo drivers are hired they agree to provide a duty of care that provides a safe environment for their passengers, which includes following the law. When drivers break this agreement, they are putting themselves and their passengers at risk, which can make them responsible for the accident.

The Limo Company

The limousine company may be at fault if it’s overworking the driver, failing to provide proper training, or permitting the driver to carry more than the allowed passenger amount. Overworking drivers leads to exhaustion, improper training can lead to driver error, and an overloaded limo can cause distractions, all of which can result in an accident at the fault of the limousine company.

As a society, we hold limo companies to high standards because we are paying for a service that we expect to be luxurious. But when the companies that promise this break the rules, they need to be held accountable. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s hours of service regulations, limo drivers can only drive for 10 hours.

If your lawyer finds that the company overworked the driver that caused the crash, it could be responsible for the accident.

Mechanics Who Service the Limousine

If a limo company sends its limos outside of the company to mechanics for servicing, those mechanics could be fully or partially at fault for the accident. If the mechanic didn’t fix a problem, installed a faulty part, or skipped a regular inspection, they may be responsible for the accident.

Mechanics should have proper training and education about the limos they’re repairing. If they make a mistake when servicing the limo that contributes to the accident, we will hold them accountable. If we prove that they knew about a problem with the limo but ignored it, this can be evidence that can help your case.

Another Driver

If another driver on the road hit the limousine, they may be partially or fully at fault. Sometimes other drivers on the road don’t have experience driving next to limos, or they underestimate the limo’s size, leading to an accident.

Every time any driver gets into their car, they are responsible for their own safety and others on the road. When they engage in unsafe driving habits like texting or drinking while driving, they put everyone at risk.
