New York Taxi Accident Lawyer

Accidents Involving Taxis

Living in New York, most residents will be riding in a taxi at some time or another.  Being familiar with the traffic situation and the driving habits of taxi drivers, most people know they are taking some risks when riding in a taxi.  However, taxis are required by New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission to carry liability insurance to cover the possibility of any injury arising out of an accident in a taxi.  Although many taxis carry this insurance, other non-licensed taxi companies likely do not have it and would only carry the state's No-Fault insurance coverage.  The difference is important to a passenger in a taxi due to what can be covered in an accident causing an injury.  If you or a loved one is injured in a non-licensed taxi, No-Fault coverage would pay only your medical bills and lost income.  There is no coverage for the pain and suffering, or even a wrongful death, resulting from a non-licensed taxi.  With the help of a New York personal injury attorney, Segal & Lax can help you sort out the legal situation in your injury claim and provide you with all the options available to you.
