Suffolk County Taxi Accident Attorney

Injured in a taxi accident?

With some of the busiest streets in the nation, Nassau & Suffolk Counties have numerous taxis that service the area. While most of these are licensed cabs, some are known as "gypsy" taxis and are unlicensed. Many injuries occur to both residents and visitors alike when travelling in taxis or when struck by the driver of a taxi. State laws require that taxis carry sufficient liability insurance to cover injuries caused through their negligence; however unlicensed taxis may have little to no coverage. While New York has a no-fault system of insurance, this provides only the minimum of coverages when someone is injured. To find out how best to protect one's rights when injured in a taxi, contact a Suffolk County injury attorney from The Law Offices of Charles Bonfante III & Associates for experienced legal representation.

The firm has extensive experience in the area of personal injury law and can thoroughly examine the facts of the accident to pursue recovery for damages suffered. It is important to seek all possible information regarding the status of the taxi cab in order to determine whether there is sufficient insurance to cover medical costs and any other related expenses one may sustain in a taxi accident.
