- Get pertinent information for any witnesses to the scene of the accident.
- Take pictures of the property damage to both the taxicab and any other vehicles involved in the accident.

- Contact an experienced taxicab accident lawyer in New York.
Who Is Responsible for a Taxi Accident?
When you are involved in a taxicab accident, it can be difficult to identify the owner of the cab and the insurance carrier. Under New York’s No Fault statute, the injured party is required to file an application for benefits with the insurance carrier of the vehicle that they were injured in within 30 days from the accident. Regardless of how difficult it is to locate the insurance carrier, you are still required to abide by this rule to avoid waiving coverage for your injuries.
