A huge amount of people each day in the UK use taxis to and from work, to visit relatives and friends and if their sensible to visit the local public house for a few deserved drinks.
We don’t often think of a taxi being in a road traffic accident especially when were in one. However it does happen and often involving more than one person because they are licensed to carry passengers.
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a road traffic car crash while in a taxi you should be mindful of a number of things.
Take the name and address and vehicle registration of the driver and the phone number of the taxi company.
Take the name, address and registration number of all other drivers involved.
If there are witnesses also take there names and addresses and photos or sketches of the scene. This will make claiming compensation easier as locating witnesses after the car crash can often be difficult. The sketch or picture of the road accident will also help in the recall of events.
In the eyes of the law unless you contributed to the accident you are an innocent party and have due right to claim for compensation from the party at fault, this could be the taxi driver or other drivers involved who were to blame.
If you were not wearing a seatbeat the amount of your compensation claim could be reduced but it is well worth you making a claim as you will be entitled to compensation.
