Taxi Accident Claims

In 2023 there were over 289,000 licensed taxi’s and PHV’s registered in England. When you consider this many vehicles on the road carrying passengers to their desired destinations, day and night, there’s a high probability of road traffic accidents occurring.

Making a Claim as a Passenger

If you’ve been involved in an accident as a passenger of a taxi, minibus or other private hire vehicle and have sustained injuries, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation against the at fault party’s insurance. This could be the against the taxi driver, the other party or if the responsibility is shared for the incident, off both parties’ insurance.

No win No fee

Our panel solicitors can handle your case on a no win, no fee basis which means there’s nothing to pay upfront and nothing to pay if your case is unsuccessful.

If your case is successful, our panel solicitors take between 25%- 50% from your awarded compensation. This varies amongst our panel members and will be dependent on the law firm we recommend you to as well as your claim type.

Full terms & conditions will be included in your solicitor’s agreement so please read this carefully and speak to them if you are unsure of anything before signing. For more information, please visit our No win No fee page.
