Manhattan NYC Taxi Accidents Attorney
Were You Injured by a Taxi Cab in NYC? Call Us Today
New York City is the taxi capital of America. There are more than 50,000 taxis, limousines and other licensed carriers moving people around New York City. Add the number of unauthorized "gypsy" car services and it's easy to understand why hundreds of pedestrians, bikers and drivers are injured every year in accidents involving taxi driver negligence.
Taxi Accident Cases Are Often Complex
All authorized taxi cabs and limo services are covered by insurance. Unfortunately, the cab companies and their insurance carriers will do everything possible to place blame on the victim. Investigating the accident requires a thorough knowledge of pedestrian right of way and cab driver training and liability. Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP, has the experience and skills to represent clients in the most complex taxi injury cases and against the largest insurers in America.
What do you do if you are hit by an uninsured gypsy taxi? Come to us. Even in taxi accident cases involving hit and run and uninsured cabs, our personal injury attorneys can often help you obtain compensation from other insurance sources — including your own insurance.
What Does New York City Law Say About Insurance Requirements for Cabs?
New York City requires that all cabs and limousine companies carry a minimum of $100,000 personal injury liability insurance for an individual claim, with a required amount of $300,000 for multiple claims resulting from a single accident. Illegal gypsy drivers generally carry the required amount for an individual driver, which is $25,000 per personal injury liability claim.
An inexperienced lawyer will cost you more than you may ever know, and you don't want to be a victim twice. Because New York is a no-fault insurance state, you are entitled to claim the full amount of your financial damages resulting from the accident, including medical bills. Physicians are required to adjust their billing according to the amount of no-fault insurance coverage available. However, the no-fault component of New York insurance law does not take into account your pain and suffering and other intangible costs.

Our trial attorneys work aggressively to help you get the maximum compensation available from every source of insurance coverage. Serious injuries often require a lawsuit for additional damages beyond the no-fault coverage — which will only pay dollar-for-dollar losses you can show on receipts. We have experience helping injury victims get full compensation for losses resulting from pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment.
