If you have been in an accident as a passenger in a taxi you could claim compensation against either the driver of the taxi (if he or she is to blame) or the other vehicle involved in the accident.

Just as with other road users, taxi drivers and their company operators are required to have motor insurance in place to ensure the possibility of compensation in the event of an accident involving a paying passenger, pedestrian, occupant of another vehicle or indeed any other road user.

What should I do if I get into an accident with a Taxi?

As with all accident claims, you should try to obtain details of all individuals involved including: 

  • Vehicle registration numbers,
  • Witness statements
  • Contact details of witnesses
  • Photographs, both of the accident site itself and of any injuries you might have sustained
  • You should also obtain details of the driver's employers or establish if they are self-employed.

All of the above will help your personal injury solicitor make a compensation claim against the appropriate party.

How can passengers claim after a taxi accident?

If you are injured as a taxi passenger, you should seek legal advice about making a claim for compensation. This applies whether the taxi driver or another motorist was at fault.

What injuries are common in taxi passenger accidents?

Passengers may sustain a range of injuries, from whiplash and broken bones to serious head or spinal injuries. The extent of injuries will depend on the nature and severity of the collision.

Why should I contact a solicitor after a taxi accident?

Our experienced solicitors can help by:

  • Advising on liability and eligibility to claim
  • Gathering medical and accident evidence
  • Handling negotiations with insurers
  • Representing you in court if necessary

Thompsons Solicitors can ensure you receive the best possible legal representation to secure your rightful compensation.

Excellent service, above and beyond

It all began with a freak cycling accident on my way to work one oct morning in 2023, unbeknown to me was the cause of the accident was a pothole in the road , I have been cycling for 20years plus and had never experienced an incident like this, but needless to say that when I contacted Nicola at Thompsons she was willing to listen and filled me with confidence, subsequently the defendant settled today with what I can only describe as a generous offer , thank you Nicola
