Wichita Taxi Auto Accident Injury Lawyers Who Know How to Help

Our car accident injury attorneys put in maximum effort for injury victims and their families

Auto accidents involving taxis in Wichita happen more than many people might realize. When they do, the injuries can be serious. Whether you’re in another car or you’re a passenger in a taxi, you can suddenly sustain injuries that leave you unable to work, unable to do your normal activities of daily living, and send you for lengthy medical care.

You are not alone. Our experienced car accident injury lawyers at PISTOTNIK LAW will help you every step of the way. Our attorneys have years of experience dealing with many different types of auto accidents including ones involving taxis. As a result, we know Kansas law and understand how the legal system works in Wichita and throughout Kansas.

Why Do Taxis Get in Auto Accidents?

Accidents caused by taxi drivers happen for many different reasons. Common causes we often deal with at our law firm include taxi drivers:

• Speeding.  Taxi drivers get paid by the trip and by the mile and there is financial incentive for them to go fast.
• Texting while driving.  Taxi drivers are in their vehicle for long hours but they get distracted by communicating on their cell phones during their business hours.
• Talking on two way radios.  This is as bad as texting as the driver’s hands and mind are distracted from being attentive to the road and traffic.
• Falling asleep at the wheel.  Due to long hours of work, it is easy for drivers to become fatigued.
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  Some drivers are involved in this illegal activity even while working.

Strict rules and regulations apply to taxi drivers. These drivers are supposed to be professional drivers and their job is to drive safely. The same is true for rideshare drivers who work for Lyft or Uber or another ridesharing company. That’s why it’s important that you talk to a lawyer who knows the law and knows what to do. Our office offers free consultations to provide valuable information to you to protect your rights.

What Makes Taxi Auto Accidents in Kansas Difficult?

You might think you don’t even need a lawyer if a taxi driver clearly caused your collision, pedestrian accident, scooter accident, or bicycle accident. The same is true if you were a passenger in a taxi involved in a car crash. A passenger has no fault, but the drivers certainly have fault.  Unfortunately, car wrecks caused by taxi drivers often turn out to be difficult for many different reasons, including:

• The taxi company only purchases the Kansas minimum of insurance coverage ($25,000 for a bodily injury).
• The taxi driver denies doing anything wrong.
• The taxi driver blames you for causing the collision.
• The taxi company refuses to provide evidence related to your crash.
• The taxi driver’s insurance company specifically handles taxi crashes and is trained to limit your case value.

Our legal team investigates your auto accident to get all the facts. We gather evidence, including records owned by the taxi company and records regarding the driver’s history. We carefully review accident reports and medical records and interview witnesses. If needed, we consult accident reconstruction experts. Our lawyers build the strongest case possible.

Some law firms avoid complex legal cases, but we don’t. That’s because we believe taxi drivers and the companies that they work for should be held accountable. Our office provides free consultations to provide you with free legal advice on what steps need to be taken. This car wreck was someone else’s fault and you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and damages.
