Like any form of transport, there is always a small risk you will be involved in a road traffic accident, even where the accident involves a professional taxi driver. If you are injured in an accident whilst travelling as a passenger you could be entitled to compensation. Taxi passengers can suffer the most serious types of injuries, but even relatively minor injuries can result in lost earnings, pain and difficulty carrying out everyday tasks. As a result, you could claim compensation for your injuries and loss. Our specialist taxi passenger compensation solicitors will be able to advise you fully.
