Chicago Taxicab-Auto Accident Attorneys

Representing the Victims of Taxicab-Auto Accidents throughout Illinois

Chicago’s streets are filled with thousands of taxicabs, along with the other motor vehicles on the road. Taxicab drivers are expected to obey the rules of the road like all motorists, and as “common carriers,” taxicab drivers are expected to use extreme care when driving. If a taxi driver fails to exercise the appropriate level of care in operating the taxicab, and a motor vehicle accident occurs as a result, he or she could be liable for the resulting injuries, damages, or deaths.

At Cogan & Power, P.C., our Chicago taxicab accident focus on helping persons who are injured in Illinois auto accidents, including the victims of taxicab accidents, public transportation accidents, distracted driving accidents, alcohol-related accidents, head-on collisions, and rear-end accidents.

Obligations of Taxicab Drivers

Like all motorists, taxicab drivers are expected to obey the rules of the road. Additionally, Illinois law defines taxicabs as “common carriers” because they are available for hire to transport individuals from one place to another. As common carriers, taxicab drivers have an obligation to exercise the highest level of care when driving. The failure to do so can result in liability for any injuries, damages, and deaths that occur as a result of a taxicab accident.

If you were injured in a taxicab accident – either as a passenger in the taxicab or as another motorist on the road – you may be able to recover money damages for the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages (past and future)
• Property damages
• Disfigurement
• Disability
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of normal life
