Taxi Accident Claims
When you enter a taxi, you’re placing your health and wellbeing in the hands of a taxi driver. Even as a pedestrian you can be involved in a taxi accident. In fact, there were around 14750 pedestrian casualties in road traffic accidents alone.
Taxi accidents can happen randomly, and that’s why it’s important to know whether you can receive any compensation or if you can file Taxi Accident Claim.
Stonehewer Moss Solicitors are here to help and guide you through the entire process.
Taxi Statistics
We all know that London is the most popular city in Great Britain, but did you also realise just how many taxis are on our streets? Since 2005 when records were first kept at this level it has gone up by nearly 90%. This trend can be attributed largely to cab-hailing apps like Uber which have allowed people who need transportation quickly.
Just last year, there were nearly 300 thousand taxis and PHV’s licensed to operate in England. That’s an increase of 60% since 2005! However it seems like the licencing for these vehicles is slowing down – 7 fewer than 2017 alone!
Which are the most common Taxi Accident Claims
There are different situations when you can file a claim to receive compensation. The most common Taxi Accident Claims are a compensation for injuries that were sustained during a collision and a car crash involving a taxi. There are other claims like pedestrians injured by a taxi, injuries sustained when the taxi pulls away before you fully disembark or injuries that appeared due to the taxi driver’s reckless driving.
Taxi accident victims can encounter a large variety of different injuries. These range from bruising to sprains, deep cuts, brain injuries, internal organ injuries, bone fractures, whiplash and similar problems. Addressing these properly can indeed make a difference, and that’s exactly what you want to focus on.
What should you do if you were involved in a taxi accident?
It’s very important to try and obtain the badge number or at least the license number of the vehicle driver, maybe even the registration number of the taxi. This will help you file any Taxi Accident Claim. Once you have that information, it’s imperative to get all the injuries examined by a doctor. The doctor will complete a form with all the injuries, and you can add that your claim.
