What happens if you get into an accident? What is the process the company has to go through with insurance and everything?

Asked by Justen almost 11 years ago

It's just like any other accident really but you have a supervisor show up and taxi authority to take pictures and access who was at fault but the fault is almost never in question with the safety cameras. The insurance is totally provided by the company
