While there are many jokes made about terrible and dangerous New York City taxi drivers, it is no joke when a driver actually causes an accident, injuring passengers, pedestrians, or occupants of other cars. You might be surprised to learn that there are approximately 1,400 accidents in New York involving taxi cabs every month.

Thankfully, many of these accidents are mild fender benders, but other times they can result in serious injuries. If you are the victim of a taxi cab accident, Paul Dansker a professional Personal Injury Lawyers recommends that you do three things to ensure that you have acquired enough information to proceed with a viable case and claim compensation for your injuries:

1. Immediately contact the police to report and document the accident. Do not let a taxi cab driver intimidate or manipulate you in an effort to keep you from suing.
2. Get the taxi driver’s name, ID number and license plate. If possible, take pictures of everything, including the area around the accident, so that the scene can be reviewed by authorities and a NYC Taxi Accident Lawyer.
3. Attempt to get contact information from any witnesses as their testimony may be vital to your case.
Understandably, there may be times when injuries are so severe you are unable to capture this information.

However, that doesn’t preclude you from proving negligence. A NYC Taxi Accident Lawyer will launch their own investigation and attempt to gather all the information necessary to improve your chances of winning your case and receiving the compensation you deserve.
