Any passenger in a taxi that has been involved in an accident whether it was the taxi driver’s fault or another party’s fault may be able to make a claim. As a passenger in the taxi you are seen as the innocent party. The accident couldn’t have been you’re fault because you weren’t driving and there’s probably nothing you could have done to prevent the accident.
All of the above are a good basis for making a successful compensation claim. If you become involved in a taxi accident there are a number of things you should do:
- Take down the identification number of the taxi driver along with the make of their vehicle and its registration number
- If the accident involved another party, take down their contact details
- Seek medical attention, they will be able to diagnose any injuries related to the accident such as a whiplash injury
- Take photos of any visible injuries you have
