- 0:00NYC Taxi Accident Lawyer A taxi ride through the streets of Queens or anywhere in New York City can turn into a serious injury claim in a matter of seconds.
- 0:08When a crash happens, the questions that follow can be overwhelming — who caused the accident, whose insurance applies, and how do you recover what you've lost.
- 0:17Taxi accident liability is rarely straightforward, because responsibility may fall on the driver, the vehicle owner, a fleet operator, another motorist, or several parties at once.
- 0:28Common causes include distracted or fatigued driving, speeding and aggressive behavior, unsafe lane changes, and poor vehicle maintenance that violates New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission standards.
- 0:39New York Vehicle and Traffic Law requires drivers to stay within their lane and exercise due care around pedestrians and cyclists, and violations of these rules can serve as powerful evidence of negligence.
- 0:50Under Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 388, a vehicle owner can be held liable for injuries caused by a driver operating the vehicle with the owner's permission, which means medallion holders and fleet operators may share responsibility.
- 1:03TLC inspection and licensing records can reveal whether a vehicle was properly maintained, helping establish which party failed in their duty before the crash ever occurred.
- 1:12New York's modified comparative negligence law under CPLR Section 1411(b) means that if you are found more than fifty percent at fault, you cannot recover damages — but if you are fifty percent or less at fault, your award is simply reduced by your share.
- 1:27A taxi accident claim can include compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, future care costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and the physical and personal toll an injury takes on your life.
