According to the New York Post:

"It was a seizure after all.

After four years of denying blame, an off-his-meds epileptic cabbie Hassan Afzal today admitted in a Manhattan courtroom that he caused the death of a promising young college student, his passenger, in a horrific 2006 smashup on the West Side Highway.

Hassan Afzal, 25, won't spend a single day in jail under today's plea deal. He will serve five years probation.

This, despite a long trail of wrongs and wreckage, including the death of Danielle Ricco, 21 -- crushed after being thrown from Afzal's careening Crown Victoria taxi -- and the injuries of three other young women in the cab.

Afzal also admitted today that some weeks before the crash, he stopped taking the medication that controlled his seizures -- and kept driving his cab."

No word was given as to whether a civil suit was filed.  The statute of limitations in New York for personal injury claims is three years, so if you or someone you love has been harmed in a taxi cab accident, you need to immediately seek the help of New York personal injury lawyers who have the experience necessary to get to the bottom of these types of situations on behalf of their clients.  Contact Fitzpatrick & Fitzpatrick today to schedule a free initial consultation.
