Taxi Cabs Accidents

The high traffic and busy Las Vegas traffic create the conditions for many traffic accidents, and cab accidents are not uncommon. Common causes of cab accidents include:

• Driver Errors: cab drivers who are subject to fatigue and stress can make driving errors.
• Speeding: in an effort to deliver passengers faster, cab drivers often exceed the speed limit, greatly increasing the risk of accidents.
• Violation of traffic rules: ignoring traffic lights, improper overtaking and inattention to pedestrians are also common causes of accidents.

These factors combine to create dangerous situations for both passengers and other road users.
