Car Accident Involving a Taxi

When an auto accident occurs involving a taxi, those who are injured can file a claim and recover compensation from their or the other driver’s insurance company. The state’s comparative liability laws determine who gets paid and how much they can be awarded. If you were not at fault for the auto accident, the at-fault driver’s insurance should cover your damages. Even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover compensation in proportion to the other driver’s share of the blame.

A cab driver’s insurance coverage varies based on several factors, namely, whether the driver was carrying a fare-paying passenger at the time of the wreck. At Zanes Law, we navigate the complexities of car crashes involving taxis and help our clients recover fair compensation.

Taxicab Accidents Involving Fare-Paying Passengers

Under Arizona law, taxicab drivers are required to carry certain levels of insurance as a condition of their employment. Those who are self-employed must carry this insurance on their own. If a driver works for a company, their employer must provide the required coverage for them.

The highest level of coverage is required for when the driver is carrying a fare-paying passenger in their taxicab. The driver must have $250,000 worth of bodily injury coverage.

Taxicab Accidents Involving Idle Drivers

When a taxicab driver is not carrying a fare-paying passenger but is still technically “at work,” their insurance requirements are much lower. Rather than carrying $250,000 in coverage, they must have $25,000 in liability insurance. The scenarios where this policy takes effect include the following:

• When the driver is in between rides
• When the driver is on their way to pick up their first passenger of the day
• When the driver is driving around waiting for a call or pick-up

These are not the only applicable scenarios in which the lower liability insurance policy takes effect. Your lawyer can help you understand and review your options given the specifics of your case.

Taxicab Accidents Involving Off-Duty Drivers

When a taxicab driver is off duty, they still must carry the same levels of liability insurance as are required for all drivers in Arizona. If your accident with a taxicab driver occurred during one of these times, we will pursue the liable party’s insurance company for compensation the same as we would for any other driver.
