The black London cab is a ubiquitous icon of one of the world's great cities; but, despite the best efforts of the knowledgeable and sometimes colourful "cabbies" who drive them, taxi accidents do happen and passengers frequently sustain injury.
Fortunately, owing in the main to the low speed and high-density nature of city traffic, few such crashes result in passengers suffering serious injuries. Whiplash injuries, however, are a common factor in a majority of 100 percent compensation claims for taxi accidents.
The prevalence of the neck injury in taxi-related claims is easy to understand: quite simply, high-density urban traffic is a breeding ground for relatively low-speed rear-end collisions. One need only take a short bus ride through the streets of London to note that black cabs account for a high proportion of traffic.
Of course, it is not only in London that such crashes take place. All cities and towns in the United Kingdom, whether Manchester, Hull, Bradford or Portsmouth, should be aware of the problem.
A very good example of how even the most innocuous-seeming of taxi-related collisions can cause whiplash occurred in Glasgow in 2006.
A Scottish woman had been a rear seat passenger in a taxi when a lawyer drove his car into the back of the vehicle. Although the collision had taken place at a speed of only 5mph and neither vehicle had been damaged, the woman sustained a whiplash injury for which her no win, no fee solicitor would obtain a settlement of £3,500.
The case led the Scottish Conservative justice spokesperson to comment, "When stuff happens, as it does, someone is responsible and someone else is entitled to a claim."
