Taxi Cab Accidents

On the streets of New York City, Taxi cab accidents involving cars, pedestrians, bicyclists and other objects occur approximately 11 times a day! 70% of these accidents result in personal injury or death. The rate of injury in these accidents is far higher than that of regular cars because few taxi cab passengers wear seatbelts.

Other noteworthy taxi cab accident statistics, as reported in the NYC Taxicab Fact Book. These statistics are based on numbers gathered from a recent 12 month period:

Taxi cab crashes occurred at a much higher frequency in Manhattan, as compared to the other four boroughs (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island)
282 bicyclists were injured in crashes involving taxi cabs
538 pedestrians were injured and four killed in crashes involving taxi cabs
11.5% of rear-seat taxi passengers involved in crashes sustained Class A or B injuries such as fractures, concussions, internal injuries, bleeding, burns, contusions and abrasions

In all matters involving Taxi Cab Accidents, it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations.
