Brooklyn Cab Injury Attorney
The faster a cab driver can get from point A to point B, the sooner he or she can pick up another passenger and earn another fare. All too often, this basic desire to make more money gets in the way of safe and responsible driving, resulting in serious accidents.
I am a Bronx, Westchester County and Brooklyn taxi accident attorney. Since 1986, I have helped Brooklyn and Bronx auto accident victims seek fair compensation from negligent drivers. If you have been injured in a taxi cab accident, don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
Holding Taxi Drivers Accountable for Dangerous Driving
As public carriers, taxi companies can be held accountable for failing to protect their own passengers from harm. They can also be held accountable when the drivers and passengers of other vehicles, as well as pedestrians, are injured by their and their drivers' carelessness.
New York City cab drivers are well-known for engaging in particularly dangerous behavior while driving, including the following:
- Driving over the speed limit
- Changing lanes and stopping without warning
- Stopping in the middle of intersections
- Straddling multiple lanes
Because cab drivers are under so much pressure to drive dangerously, the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) requires yellow cabs to carry four times as much collision insurance as regular cars. Unfortunately, this is not enough to deter some drivers from negligent behavior.
Taking Action Quickly on Your Taxi Accident Claim
If you have been injured in Brooklyn, the Bronx or New York City in an accident involving a yellow cab, livery cab or gypsy cab, I can help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. I am an experienced trial lawyer and am prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
If you select me to represent you, I will immediately begin investigating the facts of your case in order to document the causes and consequences of your accident. Contact my office today to schedule an appointment.
