[Nfbmo] Fwd: [nfbmi CABS

That's always such a tough thing. Your only recourse would be to sue the driver of the SUV, but unfortunately you can't get blood out of a tyrnup. I'll never claim to know all the legalities of something like this, but I'm not sure that the responsibility falls on the cab company in a case where it was not the fault of the cab driver. If you were driving, and  your car was rear ended by someone, it would be much the same situation. I would assume the cab company has reported the driver to the state for not having insurance, but if not, I certainly would.

All the best,

The driver of the SUV did not have insurance.

In this instance, I would think the responsibility would be on the insurance of the driver of the SUV. The fault lies with that driver. If the fault were with the driver of the cab, it might be a completely different story.

You know we as blind and visually impaired people we take cabs all the time. But did you know that the cab companies say that they DO NOT INSURE the passengers and that they only insure their drivers. WOW!!!!!
I was in a cab and a SUV ran into the back of my cab. I have over $20,000 worth of medical bills that the cab company say that they are not responsible for. What do you sugest?
