The City continues to pay hefty sums to settle personal injury claims pertaining to crashes involving city-owned vehicles—a number that is consistently climbing, according to a new report.
The report, titled Wreckless Spending: The Accelerating Cost of City Car Crash Settlements, was released by the New York City Comptroller’s Office Monday and revealed that the amount the city is paying to cover these settlements continues to soar–from $67.4 million in the fiscal year 2015 to as high as $130 million in the fiscal year 2021.
