Taxi Passenger Accidents

Accidents whilst a passenger in a taxi

Taxis are a vital mode of transportation. Most people have used taxis at one time or another; whether it’s going on a night out or coming back from an airport.

Most taxi drivers are experienced motorists. However, due to the nature of their job, some work long shifts and take irregular and infrequent breaks. This means that they are more likely to have an accident due to driver fatigue. Motorists suffering from driver fatigue have slower reactions and decreased awareness.

If you have been injured as a result of a taxi driver’s negligence, you will be in a strong position to make a compensation claim.

You may be able to claim compensation from the taxi company, the other road user who caused the accident or, in some circumstances, the local authority (if the accident occurred on a dangerous or badly maintained road).
