    It is common for residents and tourists to use local taxi and cab services in Las Vegas. In fact, people cannot hop between the lively destinations of this amazing city without these cabs. However, it is no secret that auto accidents are reported quite often in Las Vegas. What happens if you get injured in an accident involving a taxi or cab? Who is liable for your medical bills and losses? An experienced taxi injury attorney can answer your questions. Victims often undermine the need for legal representation in such cases, but taxi accidents are often more complicated. Here are some basic aspects worth knowing, along with an overview of what a lawyer can do for you.  

    Determining Liability 

    Nevada is an at-fault state. If the other driver was negligent, they are liable for your losses. In the case of taxi accidents, things can be different. While the taxi driver could have been at fault, there are circumstances when other parties could be liable for your losses. For instance, if the taxi company failed to follow the regulations required to hire taxi drivers, they could be indirectly responsible for causing the accident. If the cab had a defective component or part, the manufacturer could be a party to the lawsuit. If you were partly at fault, you could recover compensation, but your fault will determine what you get from the awarded settlement. Nevada is a modified comparative negligence state. If you were more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything. 

    How can an Attorney help?

    You need a personal injury attorney to evaluate your taxi injury case. Your lawyer can do the following: 

    1. Explain if you have a case in the first place
    2. Determine what the case is worth
    3. Investigate the case to find fault and liability
    4. Gather evidence 
    5. Talk to witnesses and experts
    6. Negotiate with the insurance company
    7. Negotiate with other parties as needed
    8. Represent you in court
    9. Deal with the claims process and paperwork

    As for the cost of hiring an attorney for your lawsuit, it depends on the facts of the case. Injury lawyers usually take a contingency fee, which means you agree to pay a percentage of the settlement to your lawyer if you win. You can ask the lawyer about their fee and other expenses and if you are expected to pay anything right away. You have limited time to take action, and therefore, call a lawyer soon after the taxi accident.
