Riding in a limousine may be a first-class experience, but your comfort and convenience may come at the price of safety.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Limo Accident?

In any accident, it is key to determine who is at fault, so your attorney can pursue appropriate legal action. Limo accidents aren’t always straightforward because one or more commercial parties may be involved. Liability might lay with:

• The Limo Driver: Because accidents usually stem from driver error, it’s natural to assume the limo driver was at fault. This may be because they fell asleep at the wheel, failed to observe traffic laws, or were intoxicated on the job. That said, limo drivers are usually covered under their employer’s insurance; typically, they will only personally be responsible if their actions were grossly negligent.
• The Limo Company: Limo companies are chiefly responsible for the safety and well-being of their drivers and passengers. Any accident involving an on-the-job driver will likely come back to rest on the company’s shoulders. Sometimes no driver is at fault: Limo companies are also responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of their vehicles and may be considered at-fault if they fail to safely maintain the vehicle.
• The Limo Maintenance Company: If a limo company outsources maintenance work to a third party and that party is negligent in their duties, they may also be liable in a limo accident.
• The Limo Maker/Seller: Companies that manufacture and sell limos are held to certain standards, just like companies that manufacture and sell any other type of vehicle. If these companies are responsible for putting a dangerous vehicle on the market, they can be held accountable when a defect leads to a collision.
• Other Passengers: Because limos are primarily used for celebrations involving multiple people, other passengers might be a concern. Especially when alcohol is involved, another passenger’s reckless actions could put everyone at risk. If this happens, you may be able to pursue a personal injury suit against the person who acted carelessly.
• Other Drivers: Limo drivers are professionals with well-tested skills. Other drivers on the road may not be. If someone else’s negligence causes an accident with your limo, you (and everyone else involved) can file a claim with that driver’s insurance.
