Making a taxi accident claim in an unfamiliar town


Travelling in a taxi is the ideal way to make business calls, find an unfamiliar hotel or restaurant or see some tourist sights and the last thing you expect is to have to make a taxi accident claim.

As professional drivers, the men (and women) who ply for hire in our towns and cities work hard to provide reliable, convenient and safe services for their customers but, unfortunately, with so many hazards on the roads sometimes, however good the drivers are, the cab and its occupants may be victims of a vehicle accident.

For a stranger to a town, a taxi accident can be particularly unnerving and its consequences difficult to deal with, but it will help any subsequent personal injury compensation claim if you are able to note any details about the taxi and the circumstances of the accident, including the taxi driver and/or company's name.

If as a result of the car crash you incur extra expenses such as a longer than expected stay at a hotel, make sure you have a full receipt for the additional spending and a local doctor's note to prove you were unable to keep to your original schedule because of the injuries you suffered as a result of the taxi accident.

When you get home, follow up any medical treatment with your own doctor or hospital and ensure it is on your records for any subsequent passenger compensation claim.

Both self-employed taxi drivers and larger companies will have full insurance policies to cover themselves for liabilities, so if the taxi crash in which you were a passenger was not your fault you may be eligible to pursue a claim for compensation.
