Taxi Accidents in New York City
Collisions involving taxis and private vehicles, such as the one at 6th Ave and W 42nd St, are common in high-traffic areas like Midtown Manhattan. With a high volume of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles navigating busy intersections, crashes often occur due to sudden stops, aggressive lane changes, distracted driving, or failure to yield.
New York’s no-fault insurance system ensures that injured individuals can receive medical coverage regardless of fault. However, in cases involving significant injuries, victims may need to pursue additional claims to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. Understanding legal options is essential for those affected by serious accidents.
