Workers’ Compensation Benefits and Taxi Drivers
There are thousands of taxi drivers all over Pennsylvania, transporting tourists and even locals to places of employment, hotels, restaurants, and famous landmarks every day of the year. Just like workers at other companies, taxi cab drivers can file for workers’ compensation benefits if they are injured on the job. Taxi drivers often work long and strenuous hours and are at risk of suffering serious injuries if involved in a car accident.
If a taxi driver is injured while on the job, his or her company should offer benefits to help pay for medical bills and lost wages during the recovery process. To make sure you file for workers’ compensation correctly or take the necessary steps following a denied claim, contact the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511 and let us help you get started.
Common Injuries
Not only are taxi cab drivers at a high risk of injury from a car accident, but they may also suffer injuries from reckless passengers inside the cab. These drivers often work late hours and can sometimes pick up intoxicated individuals that turn violent. Some common injuries drivers could suffer while on the job include:
- Blunt force injuries from passengers hitting or punching
- Whiplash
- Traumatic head injuries from traffic accidents
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Broken bones or lacerations from accidents
