Berks County Taxi Accident Attorney

BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Berks County taxi accident lawyers help injured victims recover fair compensation after crashes caused by negligent taxi drivers or companies.

Taxis provide an essential mode of transportation for residents and visitors across Berks County, but when drivers fail to operate safely, passengers and others on the road can suffer devastating consequences. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or another motorist, you deserve justice if you’ve been injured in a taxi accident.

At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County taxi accident attorneys have extensive experience handling complex taxi crash claims. We understand how to navigate commercial insurance systems, prove liability, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Who Is Liable in a Taxi Accident?

Unlike standard car crashes, taxi accidents can involve multiple liable parties. Our attorneys perform thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties, which may include:

  • The taxi driver, for negligent or reckless driving
  • The taxi company, for poor maintenance or unsafe hiring practices
  • Third-party drivers involved in the collision
  • Vehicle manufacturers or repair shops, in cases of mechanical failure

Determining liability early allows us to build the strongest possible case for our clients.

Common Causes of Taxi Accidents in Berks County

Taxi accidents can happen anywhere — from downtown Reading to the busy stretches of Route 222 or I-176. Common causes include:

  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Distracted driving from phone or GPS use
  • Fatigue after long shifts behind the wheel
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Mechanical issues due to poor upkeep

Each of these actions puts passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers at unnecessary risk.

Injuries Resulting from Taxi Crashes

The injuries sustained in taxi accidents can range from minor to catastrophic. Victims frequently suffer:

  • Whiplash and neck strain
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Psychological trauma and anxiety

At Wilk Law Firm, we work closely with medical professionals to evaluate the full impact of your injuries and ensure your recovery includes both physical and emotional healing.

Compensation Available to Taxi Accident Victims

Victims of taxi accidents in Berks County may be entitled to significant compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses and future care
  • Lost wages and diminished earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Wrongful death damages for families of fatal accident victims

We aggressively pursue every available source of recovery to secure the maximum possible outcome for our clients.

Steps to Take After a Taxi Accident in Berks County

After a taxi crash, quick action can make all the difference in your case. Here’s what to do:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately.
  2. Call the police and ensure a report is filed.
  3. Document the scene with photos, witness contacts, and taxi information.
