Injured as a passenger when a taxi lost control
Our client was travelling as a passenger in a taxi when the driver lost control of the car.
What happened
Our client had booked a taxi and was travelling as a passenger. During the journey, the taxi driver lost control of the car, and our client was injured as a result.
How we helped
Our client’s injury claim was handled by the solicitors at NJS Law, who pursued compensation on their behalf from the party responsible for the accident.
The outcome
NJS Law secured £11,607 in compensation for our client. Every claim is different, and the amount awarded depends on the circumstances of each case.
Can I claim if I’m injured in a taxi?
Usually, yes. Taxis and private hire vehicles must be insured to carry paying passengers. If the taxi driver caused the accident, an injured passenger can normally claim against the taxi driver’s insurer.
