How Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C. Handles the Complexities of Taxi Cab Accident Claims

Taxi cab accidents in New York are more complicated than typical car accident claims because liability can extend far beyond the driver behind the wheel. A single crash may involve several parties who could bear responsibility, including:

• The taxi driver.
• The medallion or vehicle owner.
• A taxi company or leasing company.
• Another negligent driver on the road.

Determining who is legally responsible requires careful investigation. Our firm examines every detail: reviewing police reports, interviewing witnesses, securing traffic camera or surveillance footage, checking driver logs, and evaluating maintenance records. We leave no stone unturned to build a strong claim.

For injured clients, managing these complexities alone can feel impossible. Insurance companies representing taxi drivers and companies are often aggressive and well-prepared to minimize payouts. At Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C., we step in to level the playing field, identifying all liable parties and pursuing the maximum recovery available under the law.

Navigating the New York No-Fault System After a Taxi Accident in Hicksville

New York follows a no-fault insurance system. This means that after a taxi accident, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance generally covers initial medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the crash. However, no-fault benefits are limited and often do not cover the full extent of losses.

For example, PIP does not compensate for pain and suffering, long-term medical care, or diminished quality of life. To pursue these damages, you need to bring a claim outside the no-fault system against the at-fault party.

Strict deadlines apply. Injured individuals must file a no-fault application within 30 days of the accident, or they risk losing benefits. At Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C., we guide clients through every step of this process:

• Filing no-fault applications on time.
• Managing communications with insurers.
• Pursuing compensation for damages beyond what PIP covers.

We make sure your rights are protected from the start, giving you the opportunity to recover what you are truly owed.
