Handling Massachusetts Taxi Accidents
Many taxi companies purposely carry insurance coverage that is inadequate to pay for injuries to passengers or pedestrians. Framingham taxicab injury attorney Michael Kaplan knows how to deal with these companies. Some of the actions he can take on your behalf are:
- Asking the court to hold the taxi license so it is not sold to another operator
- Seeking compensation from the company's corporate assets
- Seeking compensation from the driver's personal assets
- Seizing the vehicle
Taxi owners often create shell companies to hide their assets. Mr. Kaplan has in-depth experience investigating this issue and he knows how to find the company's true owner.
Seeking Compensation in Bus Accident Cases
Bus drivers (and taxi drivers) are held to a very high standard. They must do all they can to avoid harm to passengers. When they fail, serious accidents happen. Depending on the specific case, there may be multiple parties who share responsibility. Attorney Michael Kaplan will investigate all possibilities, such as:
- The driver
- The bus company
- The manufacturer of a failed part
- Contractors to whom the city or town contracted the bus route
Whether the case involves a school bus accident or as bus owned by the city or state, attorney Kaplan will do everything possible to hold negligent parties responsible for your injuries.
Dedicated to Finding the Cause of the Accident
Unfortunately, drivers of buses and taxis are often very distracted and fail to pay attention to their surroundings, leading to accidents. Drivers who are texting, speeding, talking on the phone or fiddling with their GPS systems are putting passengers in danger.
Many buses lack seatbelts, so the potential for injury is high. In some cases, the driver fails to properly secure a wheelchair, leading to a serious injury for the disabled person and other passengers. Whatever caused your injuries, Michael Kaplan will work diligently to hold the negligent party accountable.
