One thing I can truly say about the Stoddard Firm is that they take great initiative in helping their clients. My case and situation took a lot out of me. Mentally, emotionally and even physically. But the Stoddard firm did an amazing job with my case. Shauna and Janine did absolutely amazing with helping me with coping skills and they have great communication. They helped me understand that the process of my case would take some time but that they would do everything in their power to help me differentiate the odds that were against me. Yes the process was time given, but patience is key and at the end everything was successful and I am grateful for them. Like literally I think about their amazing gratitude towards my case. Their support was amazing and they always kept me updated on my case. When I fell short in life they stepped in to make sure I would come back ten times stronger and I did.

Recuperation should be on the forefront of your mind after sustaining injuries in a taxicab crash. You should not have to expend your time and energy trying to figure out the confusing claim filing process and fighting with big insurance companies for payment. We will do that for you, handling the process of getting you compensation for your damages from start to finish.
Our Atlanta taxi accident lawyers will:
Damages are the losses that you have suffered. Generally, the worse your injuries, the more damages you can claim and, consequently, the more compensation you may recover.
You could receive both economic and non-economic damages in your taxi accident claim. Economic damages are those that are more easily measurable, such as the amount of your doctor bills. Non-economic damages are those losses that are less quantifiable, such as how the accident and your injuries have affected you emotionally.
Types of damages in taxi accident cases may include payment for:
The damages you claim will be based on the specific factors in your case. We can help you determine your losses—including what the accident is costing you now and may continue to cost in the future—and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
There are various ways taxi accidents can happen. Crashes can occur due to:
When a crash happens, someone is responsible for it. That party can be held liable if they were driving negligently and caused injuries or property damage.

Who may be held liable for your injury accident depends on how it happened. Sometimes more than one party may be named in a claim.
It could be the driver of the taxi you were riding in, or the driver of the taxi who hit you while you were in another car, on a bicycle, or a pedestrian. Some cab drivers are independent contractors, but some work for taxi services. If the driver of the cab involved in your accident works for a taxi service, the employer may also be held responsible, depending on the facts. The company may not have adequately trained the driver, the driver may be pressured to work long hours, or proper maintenance may not have been performed on company cars.
If the driver of another vehicle contributed to the accident, that driver may be liable. If a part or equipment on the taxi (or another vehicle that was involved) was not working properly and caused the crash, the part manufacturer or shop tasked with repairs could be at fault. Government agencies responsible for maintaining safe roadways can be named in claims when they fail in their duty and hazardous road conditions cause accidents. If you need legal assistance in such cases, consider consulting with an experienced Atlanta, Georgia motorcycle accident lawyer to protect your rights and seek compensation..
As you can see, determining blame in a taxi accident can be complex. Our attorneys have the extensive experience required to investigate the facts, establish fault, and negotiate or litigate desired outcomes.
If you have been injured in a taxi accident that you believe was caused by the cab driver or another party, reach out to us today. You may be eligible to recover compensation for your losses. Our attorneys are knowledgeable about the laws governing taxi accidents. We will carefully examine the circumstances of the crash and advise you about the possible strength of your case.

Like many people in similar situations, when you’ve been hurt in a taxi accident caused by another party’s negligence you probably have many questions about your rights and what to do next. Below we address some of the more common questions we get about these types of accidents.
To prove negligence, we will thoroughly investigate the evidence to show that the taxi driver (and/or other party) owed you a duty of care; they failed in that duty; because of their failure you were injured; and you sustained damages due to your injuries.
Under Ga. Code § 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from when the right of action accrues. Special circumstances can shorten the two-year time frame to as little as six months or lengthen the time frame long past the standard two-year period. An accident victim must file the lawsuit and serve the defendant within this statute of limitations to preserve the right of compensation. Missing the deadline can result in losing the ability to recover damages no matter how strong the case may be. We can help determine whether an exception to the two year general limit applies to your case.
Even without a statute of limitations, acting quickly is important because it allows for evidence preservation and documentation of witness observations which can significantly strengthen a claim.
Because our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, you do not pay anything up front when you hire our firm. We get paid a percentage of the settlement or verdict we secure for you. We also provide free initial consultations so you can learn whether you may have a case without making a financial commitment.
It is to your benefit to have an Atlanta, GA truck accident law firm review any offer that you receive. Insurers often make offers intended to quickly settle claims, but their first offer is typically not their best. Once you sign it, you may well be out of luck when it comes to getting the amount of money you really need. When you work with us, we will handle all communications and negotiations with insurers as we seek to get you the maximum amount of compensation for your circumstances.
Traffic data from the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety shows that nearly 1,800 people died in motor vehicle accidents in the most recent year reported. When crashes that take lives are due to negligence, including those involving taxis, eligible survivors of people who are killed can file wrongful death claims for damages that may include funeral and burial costs, lost wages of the deceased, loss of companionship and care, and more.
