San Diego is a tourist town. We have many great places where it's a great idea to not drink and drive but take a cab. Taxis are one of the best ways to get where you need to be in San Diego. With the number of taxis driving in San Diego every day, taxi accidents are inevitable. If you were riding with a reckless cab driver, or whether the accident was caused by another vehicle, you have the right to recover for your injuries.
The first thing to do if you were injured in a taxi accident or cab accident is go to urgent care or the emergency room to get checked out. Then call a personal injury lawyer to find out what to do next about the taxi accident. One of our personal injury attorneys will save you from making serious mistakes that could jeopardize your case.
Taxi cab companies and their insurance representatives contact you directly to gather information to protect themselves and from having to pay out more money in compensation to the passengers of the taxi involved in an accident.
Insurance companies will sound friendly with you on the telephone, but they're not looking out for your interests. Insurance companies will be nice to you to gain your trust and lowball your settlement offer. They will try to offer you a small amount of money and have you sign a Release so you cannot ever sue the person who is insured with them. The risk of doing that is huge, because your symptoms may get worse, and injuries could end up being permanent. Sometimes it takes many months to discover nerve damage, a disk bulge on your spine, or hematoma that gets worse with time. Often it takes over a year to find out you will need an expensive surgery after the physical therapy, pain management, and medications that haven't worked. Do not rush to settle your case by yourself. The sooner you have a personal injury attorney help you the better off you will be if your case is accepted. We can help you open a claim with the insurance companies and protect your case from distortion by the insurance companies.
We help accident clients recover money for their vehicles, lost wages, medical bills, and the cost of future medical care. Also we can help you get compensated for the inconvenience, fear, stress, emotional suffering. Our San Diego Personal Injury lawyers will help you navigate the legal process, from start to finish, and build a strong case to recover the money you and your family deserve.
Every state has a limit on how long a person can wait before making a personal injury claim. California's personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. However if the case is against a government entity, the claim must be made within 6 months. In some cases when it concerns a minor the statute of limitation may be tolled, meaning extended. The only way for you to know for sure that your statute of limitations does not run out is to speak with one of our San Diego taxi accident attorney as soon as possible.
