When using a taxi or private hire vehicle, the actions of those responsible for our safety are outside our control.
If you’ve been injured in a taxi accident, contact our team. Our solicitors may be able to help you claim taxi accident compensation. Taxi accident claims can be made if you were a passenger in a taxi and either the taxi driver or another road user was to blame.
We handle most of our taxi accident claims on a no win no fee basis. This means you’ll have nothing to pay upfront and nothing to pay if your claim is unsuccessful. There are other funding options available, so we’ll discuss each option with you during your free initial consultation.
Who can make a taxi accident claim?
If you or a loved one has been in an accident while in a taxi or a minibus, you could make a compensation claim.
You could be able to claim if either the taxi driver or the driver of another vehicle was to blame. However, these aren’t the only circumstances in which you could claim.
When you claim following a taxi accident, who you claim against will depend on the circumstances of your accident. It could be:
- The taxi driver, if they’ve driven recklessly or negligently
- The taxi company, in certain circumstances
- Another driver, if they’ve caused your accident
- A local authority, if poor road maintenance has led to your accident
- A car manufacturer, if a fault in the car has caused your accident.
If you’re unsure whether you can claim, contact us and tell us more about what’s happened. We’ll then be able to tell you whether you can make a claim.
