Taxi Accident Claims

Yes, we have helped people claim for accidents that have happened in Uber cars.

In this situation, your claim will still be against the driver of the taxi and their insurer, rather than Uber.

Yes, you can still claim in this situation.

The claim would be brought against the other driver who caused the accident. If it turns out they were an uninsured driver, you can submit a claim via the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB).

By law, a taxi driver doesn't have to wear a seatbelt while driving, but passengers do need to wear one when travelling in a taxi. Despite this, you can still claim compensation if you weren't wearing a seatbelt at the time of an accident.

However, because wearing a seatbelt is a safety measure required by law, your compensation could be reduced if you sustained an injury while not wearing one.

In some cases, the medical expert assessing your claim may decide that you would have received the same injuries even if you had been wearing a seatbelt. If it can be argued that a seatbelt would have made no difference to your injuries, it might not affect the compensation you receive.

Early compensation payments, also known as interim payments, are made in advance of any final settlement. They are only made in an agreement with your opponent if they accept responsibility for your injuries.

Interim payments can be used to replace lost earnings, so you can afford to pay essential bills if your injury has meant you have been absent from work, as well as covering the cost of specialist medical care or mobility equipment.

We will work hard to get an early admission of fault, and also to obtain early compensation payments to relieve any immediate pressures you’re feeling.
