New York Taxi Accident Lawyers
New York City cabbies are famous for their aggressive driving. In the movies, maybe that's comical or exciting. In real life, there's nothing funny about the serious injuries that result.
If you were hit by a taxi or a passenger in a taxicab crash, contact us immediately. The experienced personal injury lawyers of Roura & Melamed have recovered damages for taxi accident victims in Brooklyn, the Bronx and throughout NYC.
Experienced in Taxicab Injury Investigations
Our attorneys have obtained settlements for every taxi accident scenario:
- Taxi passengers injured in a crash
- Drivers injured in a collision with a taxi
- Pedestrians hit by a reckless taxi driver
- Taxi drivers injured by another motorist
One client suffered a fractured neck when he was struck by a taxi as he left a bar. The defense argued contributory negligence (our client had been drinking), but Roura & Melamed made a compelling case that the cabbie should have seen him and avoided impact. We recovered compensation for him, and we have a long history of notable cases in personal injury.
New York City taxis are independently owned, and the cab's owner is required by law to carry at least $100,000 in bodily injury coverage. Proving liability is where our knowledgeable lawyers come in. We act fast to preserve crash site evidence and locate witnesses. We look into the background of the taxi driver: criminal history, traffic violations, prior accidents and license status. We also obtain maintenance records for the taxicab.
