A taxi is not an ordinary car on the road. Under Nevada law, it is a common carrier, which means it owes passengers a higher duty of care. When a cab company fails to meet that standard, and someone gets hurt, that higher duty becomes central to the claim.
We identify the correct carrier and insurer, then build the case around that elevated duty of care. Our team handles cab accident cases for passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians across Las Vegas and Clark County, from the first call through trial if the offer isn’t fair. You focus on treatment. We handle the case.

Most people don’t know this, but taxi coverage in Las Vegas is not like rideshare apps. A licensed cab carries commercial insurance the entire shift. There’s no switching on and off. If you were in the cab, the coverage is there.
The Nevada Transportation Authority also regulates cab companies. That matters because it sets real insurance limits and responsibilities. The main job is still proving what happened, so we move quickly to get records from the company.
What matters in these cases usually comes down to a few things:
That continuous coverage is a real advantage compared to rideshare cases, where available insurance can change depending on app status. The challenge is that dispatch records and video footage don’t stay available for long, so we act quickly to secure them.
Most of the time, it’s the cab driver and the company behind them. Because taxis operate as common carriers, the company is usually responsible for the driver’s negligence through vicarious liability. In some cases, another driver is also at fault, which means another insurance policy applies.
Cab companies often try one common defense. They may claim the driver was an independent contractor to avoid responsibility. But common-carrier rules and dispatch records usually tell a different story.
The real work is figuring out the right carrier, securing the data quickly, and applying the higher duty of care the law already requires. That’s the part we handle. We’ve resolved these cases, and we’ve taken them to trial when needed.
Your claim can include medical bills, future treatment, lost income, and reduced earning ability. It also includes pain and the impact the injury has on your day-to-day life while you recover. Nevada doesn’t cap these damages in most taxi accident cases. If the driver was intoxicated, punitive damages may also apply.
Nevada follows a comparative negligence rule, which means your share of fault reduces your recovery, and if you’re found mostly responsible, you don’t recover anything.
Here’s what that looks like in real terms. If a jury values your case at $100,000 and assigns you 15 percent fault, you would recover $85,000. If fault reaches 51 percent, there is no recovery.
Cab passengers sitting in the back often take the hardest impact, especially with neck and back injuries that don’t show up immediately. We make sure those injuries are fully documented so any offer reflects the real cost of what you’re dealing with.

Las Vegas depends heavily on taxis. You see them lined up at Harry Reid Airport, moving nonstop along the Strip, and waiting outside hotels and convention centers. With that kind of volume, and tourists constantly getting in and out, accidents happen more often than people expect from a short cab ride.
In Nevada, you usually have two years from the crash to file a claim (NRS 11.190). After that, the case is gone, no matter how strong it was.
A licensed Las Vegas taxi is required to carry up to $500,000 in commercial insurance for the entire shift (NRS 706.305). There are no app phases or coverage gaps. We check the policy early so nothing gets missed.
It starts with a free call. We learn what happened, identify the cab company and its insurer, and send a preservation letter before dispatch records and camera footage are lost.
Then we build the case. Police reports, medical records, dispatch and GPS data, and in-cab video all come together to support a clear demand to the carrier. Many cases resolve at this stage once the evidence is fully documented.
If the offer still doesn’t reflect the case, we file suit. Every taxi accident case is prepared for trial from the start, because that level of preparation is what drives real settlement value.
The experience of our attorneys ranges from insurance and commercial law to personal injury and other areas which give our team an unmatched ability to reach a favorable outcome in your case. We handle each matter with accountability and responsiveness, as if we were representing ourselves.
The cab company’s commercial insurance usually pays. A licensed Las Vegas taxi carries up to $500,000 in coverage for the entire shift (NRS 706.305), and the company can be liable for its driver’s negligence.
Rideshare coverage changes depending on the app status at the time of the crash, which can create gaps or disputes. Taxi claims are usually more straightforward in terms of coverage and responsibility.
Yes. In most cases, the cab company can be held responsible for the driver’s negligence because the vehicle is operating as a common carrier. We pursue both the company and its insurer when building the claim.
Yes. Nevada law applies to a crash that happens here, no matter where you live. We handle the case while you are home, and we keep you updated.
Generally two years from the date of the crash (NRS 11.190). Dispatch logs and camera footage get overwritten quickly, so call early.
Possibly, and they are uncapped in Nevada for a drunk driving crash. Punitive damages punish the conduct on top of your actual losses.
You can still recover, as long as you are not more at fault than everyone else combined. Nevada bars recovery at 51 percent (NRS 41.141). Below that, your award drops by your share.
As a former las vegas car accident attorney, Ms. Corena has gained the experience and knowledge that many personal injury attorneys simply do not have access to.
