I wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Green decides to go after both the cab driver and the bike messenger in civil court (OJ Simpson anyone?) Yes, it is a tragedy but not every aspect of life can be covered by laws.
That said I hope I never get into that guy's cab or get knocked over by the bike messenger in a crosswalk. (If that happened I'd do the same thing as if I got hit by a snowboarder - make sure they hurt worse than me.)
What I would love to see NYC do is a major campaign to educate both drivers and cyclists about the rules and laws of sharing the road, plus a major crackdown by the police for infractions. This would definitely be a "quality of life" issue and they've done stuff like that in the past.
