Taxi Driver Accident Lawyer
New York City's 12,779 yellow medallion taxicabs comprise a $1.8 billion industry serving about 240
million passengers a year. Taxis are a vital part
of New York City’s transportation network, transporting
25% of all fare-paying bus, subway, taxi and for hire
vehicle passengers traveling within Manhattan and
collecting 45% of fares paid for these trips. Cabs
are also the primary ground carrier between Manhattan
and LaGuardia Airport and provide a substantial number
of trips to and from John F. Kennedy International
Airport. About 660,000 New Yorkers per day put their
lives in the hands of taxi drivers, relying on these
drivers to get them where they need to go safely.
Getting into an accident while riding in a taxi
cab can be a traumatizing or catastrophic event.
