Can I make a car accident claim as a taxi driver?

As a taxi driver you probably clock up more road miles than almost any other type of road user, and if you are involved in an accident that is not your fault, or for which you are only partially responsible, it is likely that you are entitled to claim compensation.

As well as compensation for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries, you may also be able to claim for any financial losses you incur as a result. This could include:

Equity Partner

"The compensation levels and values are all determined by the extent of the injury." 

What do the statistics say about taxi drivers and accidents?

According to a 2014 Road Safety Analysis report, taxi drivers are less likely to be involved in an accident involving substance abuse or speeding than other types of road user. However, taxi drivers are

  • 21% more likely to be distracted than other drivers
  • 26% more likely to engage in unsafe road behaviour
  • 52% more likely to commit a road safety offence.

Yet, given that the report's findings were not calculated on a 'per-mile' basis it would be difficult to draw too many negative conclusions about the driving habits of taxi drivers.

What are taxi driver injury claims?

According to the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 a taxi is defined as the following:

A hire car which is engaged, by arrangements made in a public place between the person to be conveyed in it (or a person acting on his behalf) and its driver for a journey beginning there and then; and "private hire car" means a hire car other than a taxi within the meaning of this subsection
