Yes. As long as you can prove that the taxicab driver was partially at fault for causing your injuries or the death of a loved one, you can sue. California is a comparative negligence state, which means that your recovery will be reduced by the percentage of your negligence. Thus, if you are awarded $1 million for your injury and found to be 50% at fault, your award will be reduced to $500,000. In addition to suing the taxicab company and owner, you can sue anybody else who may have been at fault for the accident.
