Getting Compensated in Taxi Cab Accidents

While the process of getting compensated seems straightforward on paper, it is not as easy in reality. The primary reason for this difficulty lies with the insurance providers of at-fault parties.

For example, in a scenario where you were a passenger in a taxi cab that hit another taxi cab, the expected result is that both insurers should cough up the settlement amount. But unfortunately, insurance companies are not usually keen on paying settlement claims and will try to wriggle out of their obligations or offer a small amount. 

They may also take advantage of the claim involving more than one insurance company to begin a horrible game of finger-pointing. Thus, the injured victim will be forced to either give up pursuing the claim or settle for a lowball amount just to escape the back and forth between the insurers.
