Today, on my way home from a Christmas party, the cab I was in was hit in the side. After making sure everyone was okay, the cab driver informed me that I'd still have to pay the cab fare, which he'd kept running. FML

he kept the fare running for the fifteen minutes I was standing there bent over in pain from having my ribs near broken, it cost me more than it would have to go home, I then had to pay for the hospital bill, all because he ran a red light.

I'd have called the cops... that doesn't seem legal... at all

I'd take his ass to court for my medical bills since he ran the red light. I'd also try to get my cab fare back at the same time.

I'd have told him that i'm not paying because i got in his cab to be taken safely to a destination, not get my ribs broken.

You should've sued his ass!

Well I'm sure that the cab driver left the meter running during the collision on purpose. Plus you did use up some of his time which is what Gris payed for. Just pay him

I see a lot of taxi stories on here. Makes me never want to take a taxi
