Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: Car hit in back by taxi resulting in injury to car driver & damage to car-ta

I would certainly be interested in discussing this with you, and If I accept the case, a contingency fee is customary. Based on the facts you've given, it sounds like a cse I'd be interested in. The carriers that insure most NY cabs, American Transit, Eagle, and All City/Empire, are difficult to deal with. Without an attorney you won't get far. In fact, I prefer that prospective clients do not contact insurance companies directly. If you were subject to an audit, would you call the IRS to discuss things with them. The anwswer likely is no. A lawsuit or insurance claim situation is no different. You need someone with experience to assist you. More info on me is available on my website, www.bergenlaw.com

First let me express my concern to you and your husband about his health.

Second, you have probably been inundated by e-mails.

Third, check your own policy for rental coverage...some policies cover this. If you have collision, you insurance company will pay and seek to be reimbursed from the other car(s) for the damage caused.

All of these cases are taken on contingency, with expenses payable at the conclusion..this is the business norm and standard.

Your own insurance company no-fault should be paying his medical bills.

Seek legal representation because even with your own insurance company, they may look to stop paying his benefits under no-fault depending on how things are worded.

Lastly, feel free to call me at 212-764-5428 or to e-mail me at [email protected] with any questions, even if you think they are silly or foolish.

Good Luck to your husband and yourself.

Your husband may sue the taxi that hit him for personal injuries. He is entitled to be compensated for his medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. You may also have a claim in addition to the claim your husband has. You would each would sue the cab driver and cab company in one lawsuit. Their insurance company(ies) would appoint an attorney to represent them. While there is some chance that you may be able to recover a reasonable financial settlement on your own, the chance is probably very little. It is best that you be represented by an attorney. I would be happy to discuss your case with you. You can call me at 1 (866) 3-Injured for a free consultation. My office accepts these types of cases on a contingency fee basis. Best of luck to you and your husband.
