You have not given crucial facts here, including the date of the accident.
The attorney you retained to assist you should answer these questions for you. Do you have a household automobile policy in which to file a claim for No Fault benefits? Assuming there is no other available insurance, has your attorney filed claim against MVAIC (New York Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnificaiton Corporation)? Note that these claims for No Fault benefits must be filed within 30 days of the date of the loss, or they may be denied. Good luck.

The cab company should have the information based on what time the accident occured ,where you were picked up and where you were being dropped off. This information should be readily available. If for some reason you are not able to get it you can file with your company but in all liklihood they will not pay since there is a definite car and an accompanying police report that in some way identifies the car. Speak to your lawyer about immediately filing a summons and complaint which should get the insurance company involved.

If there is an uninsured vehicle, you can filed a um claim with your own personal insurance company
if you own a car. They will be liable for your medical bills and wages. If not the MVAIC is a public fund that covers such injuries. |
