Wrongful Death Following Taxi Collision
Doe v. ABC Taxi Company: A commercial transportation association claimed that its driver was an independent contractor and refused to take responsibility for a horrific and deadly traffic collision. After the association’s insurer rejected a policy limits offer, a six-day trial on the issue of agency took place, and the jury returned a unanimous verdict in the plaintiff’s favor. The case subsequently settled for many times the association’s insurance policy limit. Lincoln Sieler was involved in this case.
