Taxi Accident Attorney in New York City

NYC Taxi Accident Lawyer

There are tens of thousands of service vehicles throughout New York City. In such a highly populated city with so many vehicles on the road every day, accidents are bound to happen. When they do, passengers can be injured and other drivers can be injured. As passengers and drivers, we expect professional taxi drivers to be skilled and trained in their craft. We don’t anticipate that we will be put in danger nor have our lives threatened when we enter a cab or when we share the road. If you or a loved one has been injured in a taxi accident, you need to be aware of your rights.

Many injuries resulting from vehicle accidents can be very severe and life-threatening. Many accidents are even fatal. Catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, dismemberment, disfigurement and severe burns are commonplace in bad accidents. These types of injuries can be extremely expensive during initial care, not to mention the continuing medical treatment that is almost always necessary in severe injuries.

The New York Taxi & Limousine Commission requires that every yellow cab have a certain amount of liability insurance. However, sometimes this isn’t enough. There are also many other types of cabs and cab drivers who only hold the minimum liability insurance. Many injuries can require hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills over an individual’s lifetime. An attorney can help you ensure that your rights as an injured passenger/driver are protected in your case.
