A property owner can sue a person who destroys or ruins property. If the driver owns the vehicle, he could sue the person who vomited in the vehicle. Since the vehicle owner will likely only recover the costs of cleaning the vehicle, a suit is unlikely in light of the cost of filing fees.

On the other hand the cabbie is in the business of picking up anyone, in order to gate fares, without screening the people allowed into the cab. They may need to take what they get unless there is some negligence or malfeasance that can be proven. People who have been drinking call cabs.

Yes, a cab driver can sue for damages if a passenger vomits in their car, as it can result in costs for cleaning and lost income due to the vehicle being out of service. The driver may seek compensation for the cleaning fees and any other related expenses incurred as a result of the incident.

It depends on the circumstances and the laws in your jurisdiction. In general, you may have grounds to sue both the cab driver and the cab company. The cab driver may be personally liable for his actions, while the cab company may be responsible under the legal principle of vicarious liability. Consulting with a lawyer would be the best course of action to determine the best approach in your specific case.
