Cab drivers in Philadelphia are fighting to get workers compensation if injured while working.

A long time cab driver in Philadelphia was robbed and stabbed in the back while on the job and then suffered a severe stroke. He is now wheelchair-bound and cannot speak. Now his wife is fighting to get her husband and all cab drivers who are injured on the job workers compensation.

The issue that they face in this situation is whether cab drivers are independent contractors or not and who is controlling the work. Taxi driving is one of the most dangerous occupations with more the 100,000 fatalities per year.

If you or someone you love has been injured on the job, contact the Philadelphia workers compensation lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. by calling 215-238-1130.
