New York City Taxi 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.
