I don't know if taxis are safer or not, and I've never been in one when it had an accident.
But two taxi rides stand out in my mind as pretty crazy. One was a 90+ mph ride from SFO to Union Square in a beater cab with a mad Russian at the wheel. We touched 100 at one point.
The latest was just this past Monday night at 11:30 PM, getting me from JFK to a hotel near LGA (long story, don't ask). The driver was a nice guy but was slaloming through traffic at 60 to 80 on a car that last had shocks about 100K ago. It was interesting. Put that guy in a Nextel Cup car and he'd be a contender. But safe on a NYC expressway.... well maybe not!
