After being involved in a taxi accident, you will likely experience an array of injuries, from whiplash to broken bones. Injuries can have long and short term impacts on your daily life, depending on the severity. If you were a passenger during a taxi accident and experienced injuries, you may be entitled to claim compensation. After a taxi accident that wasn’t your fault, you may not only face damage to your health, but it may also harm your finances. If you have experienced any sort of damage or loss after a taxi accident, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at On Your Side Scotland.

How to start a successful claim?
If you were involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, the first thing you should do is make sure everyone is safe and call any emergency services if it is necessary. After that, you should try to gather as much evidence as remotely possible. Make sure to keep a record of the taxi driver and the company, and keep it stored safely until you are ready to start a claim. In the process of gathering information, you should also gather as much evidence as possible, including witness reports, CCTV and dashcam footage, as well as taking photos and videos of the scene of the accident.
It is also helpful to visit a medical professional after your accident to ensure that you are recovering well and gather necessary medical records.
The last thing you need to do is start your claim, and if you have been in an accident, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced personal injury solicitors now and start a claim.
