SAN FRANCISCO TAXI ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Taxi drivers are paid by the fare. Thus they can be aggressive, impatient or reckless in hurrying to the destination so they can pick up the next passenger. When the safety of patrons and the public is an afterthought, there will be accidents.

The law firm of Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C., represents people in San Francisco, Oakland and throughout the Bay Area injured by a cab driver’s negligence. We have recovered compensation from owners and operators of taxis and sometimes through the victim’s own homeowner or auto policy.

If you or a loved one suffered serious injury — as a pedestrian or bicyclist, as a taxi passenger, or in a traffic collision with a taxicab — call us today for a free consultation.

Taxi, Shuttle And Gypsy Cab Accidents In The Bay Area

The first order of business is to preserve evidence. We investigate promptly to take pictures of the vehicles and the crash site, speak with witnesses, and establish factors that led to the crash. San Francisco cabbies (like cabbies elsewhere) are notorious for excessive speed, sudden lane changes, rolling stops, running red lights and otherwise throwing caution to the wind. They do not like to yield to pedestrians, bikes or other cars.

The next step is identifying the liable parties and where the insurance coverage is. Our lawyers will bring claims against taxi operators and their insurers:

• Taxi companies with fleets of cabs
• Independent medallion operators
• Quasi-legal “gypsy cabs”
• Airport and hotel shuttle vans
