Taxi Accidents

Taxi Accident Attorneys In New Jersey

Taxi drivers have a reputation for being careless, speeding and disregarding the rules of the road. This reputation is often deserved and comes from the fact that for many ‘ cars for hire‘ – taxis, limos, livery cars, jitneys, cabs – time is money. Drivers of these vehicles will take more risks and drive faster than they should to earn more money. While not all accidents involving taxis can be blamed solely on the actions of the taxi driver, there certainly are many accidents caused by the negligence of the driver of the taxi or other car for hire.At the Jersey City personal injury law firm of Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman, we have represented victims of taxi driver negligence and other types of taxi-related injuries for over 40 years. We have helped clients in Jersey City, Hoboken, West New York, Union City, and throughout Hudson County and Northern New Jersey recover money for their medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Insurance Issues with Taxi Accident Cases

Many times taxis have limited insurance coverage available. It is important to determine the insurance company and amount of liability coverage quickly. Also, taxis do not typically carry No-Fault or Personal Injury Protection benefits for payment of medical bills. However, there may be Extended Medical Benefits or Medical Payments Coverage or there may be coverage from a household automobile insurance policy available to cover a passenger, pedestrian or taxi driver.
