Although taxis are “common carriers” and therefore are required to provide the highest duty of care for the safety of passengers, anyone who has ridden in a taxi can tell you that is not always the case. Taxi drivers are notorious for speeding, sudden and unsignaled lane changes, racing through yellow (and even red) lights, and driving while distracted by car phones and cell phones. The taxi vehicle itself can sometimes be the problem if it hasn’t been properly maintained or if there is a defect in the taxi vehicle itself.
If you were hurt as a passenger in a taxi, as a driver or passenger in a vehicle that was hit by a taxi, or you were hit by a taxi while walking or biking, you are in for a fight. Get experienced legal help from a New York taxi accident attorney with a proven record of success.

We have handled taxicab accident cases for decades. We understand the dynamics of vehicle accidents and how to properly investigate auto accident cases. Furthermore, we are leaders in the area of auto product defects. The investigative and engineering experts we can bring to your case are unparalleled.
But there is an additional challenge in most taxicab accident cases: insurance and liability. Many taxi companies play a shell game with insurance so filing a claim against a taxi company can quickly become a nightmare. Don’t be discouraged. While it may seem that the company has minimal insurance, we won’t know if that’s true until we establish ownership of the taxi company and identify all possible insurers. We may be able to go after a parent company.
Whether you were hurt in a Yellow Cab or by one of the many independent cab companies operating in New York and throughout Southern California, our legal team will quickly investigate your case, gathering witness statements and, when appropriate, data from the vehicle’s tracking system. All of this evidence can be invaluable.
