Taxi Accidents
Taxis are in a tough competition for business. As a result, taxi drivers are often overly aggressive, cutting off other motorists and engaging in other forms of unsafe behavior. Many cab drivers make unsafe maneuvers with the assumption that others will yield. This type of attitude often puts other motorists and pedestrians at risk.
When cabbies drive through red lights, they are guilty of reckless driving. It does not matter if your taxi accident occurred at the height of rush hour or at two in the morning, reckless cab drivers can and should be held responsible for their actions.

After an injury suffered in a bus, train or subway accident, the injured person may fail to report the incident to the proper mass transit representative. Do not make this mistake. Do not make this mistake. A report should be filed. After doing so you should consult with a personal injury lawyer immediately.
One must act quickly. A claim against a public authority, transit authority, or the City of New York must be filed within a very limited time period following the accident. The failure to timely file a claim could result in a loss of your legal rights.
