Taxi cabs seem to be everywhere. More than 50,000 of them roam the streets of New York City every day. Some experts argue that cab drivers in the city are increasingly inexperienced and untrained. During the 1990s, while the overall number of car accidents in the city went down, accidents involving taxis increased 59 percent. While most drivers are covered by insurance, some defense attorneys and insurance companies will do everything they can to try to place blame on the accident victim and avoid paying the compensation you deserve.
At David Resnick & Associates, P.C., we have the experience to negotiate with defense attorneys and insurance companies, or to compile a compelling case and bring it to trial.
Injuries resulting from a taxi accident can be serious, debilitating and sometimes life-threatening. Common injuries include head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputated limbs, disfiguring injuries, paralysis, internal injuries and organ damage. Since 1994, New York City cabs have been required to install a plastic partition between the passengers and driver; passengers in taxi accidents are 2.5 times more likely to suffer cranial or facial injuries due to this feature.
At David Resnick & Associates, P.C., our injury lawyers understand the traumatic effect and financial devastation these serious injuries can have. Extensive medical bills, loss of income, lost wages, and lost pensions or annuities are only some of the financial headaches accident victims face. A financial settlement can help you pay your bills while compensating you for the pain and suffering you've experienced.
