Taxi Accident Compensation Claims
You should feel safe when you take a taxi. If you were hurt as a passenger and it was not your fault, you can make a taxi passenger accident claim. Drivers can also seek a taxi driver accident claim if another road user caused the crash.
Claims arise when a taxi driver or another motorist was negligent. You can claim after car accidents where blame is shared, though your award may be reduced to reflect your fault. We will explain your position in plain terms and check who is responsible.
You usually have three years from the accident date or from when you knew the injury was linked to it to make a claim. Act early so evidence is preserved and witnesses can be reached. Drivers may be asked for accounting records to measure lost income.
Compensation can cover pain and suffering, loss of earnings, and vehicle damage. If needed, a replacement taxi can be arranged, and expenses such as radio hire and repair costs can also be recovered. Support may extend to rehabilitation and physiotherapy, as well as covering travel costs and other out-of-pocket expenses connected to the accident.
Helpful evidence includes the date and location, police details, photos, dashcam footage, and witness contacts. Do not worry if you do not have everything; our team can help gather what is needed.
When the other party accepts responsibility, we work to secure interim payments that can help cover medical treatment and everyday bills. Starting rehabilitation early often speeds up recovery and minimises the impact on your work and family life.
If you were injured in an accident in a taxi, get in touch for clear advice. We will set out your options and guide your claim to settlement.

Key Things to Know Before Starting a Taxi Accident Claim
Starting a claim in Scotland is straightforward. If you were a passenger in a taxi and the crash was caused by your driver or another road user, you can make a taxi accident claim. This applies whether the fault lies entirely with one party or is shared between them.
There is usually a three-year limit to start your personal injury claim. The time limit starts from the date of the accident or from when a medical professional first confirmed that your symptoms were linked to it. Act early so the evidence is easier to secure.
To be successful, you must demonstrate that your injuries were caused entirely or partially by someone else. Photos, dashcam footage, police information, witness contacts, and medical records are all useful forms of evidence. Do not worry if you are missing something; we can help you gather what you need.
Compensation is determined by the severity of the injury and how it has affected your daily life. It may compensate for pain and suffering, lost wages, treatment, travel, and other reasonable expenses. Each case is valued according to its own facts.
Taxis, private hire cars, and minicabs are widely used throughout Scotland and the United Kingdom. With so many vehicles on the road, accidents involving taxis do happen. Clear advice from the start can shorten the process and improve results.
If you are unsure about eligibility, ask us for guidance. We will explain your options and next steps in plain English.
When Are You Eligible to Make a Taxi Accident Compensation Claim?
You may be eligible to claim in Scotland if you were involved in an accident while travelling in a taxi and someone else was at fault. This could be your driver or another road user. You normally have three years from the date of the crash or from when a clinician linked your injuries to it.
Taxi drivers have a legal duty of care to their passengers. This means they must drive safely and ensure their vehicle meets proper safety standards. If that duty is breached and you are injured, you may be entitled to make a taxi injury compensation claim.
You can also make a claim if another vehicle caused the collision. Claims may be possible where poor road surfaces or missing signs contributed to the crash. We will check who is responsible and guide you on the best route.
Evidence helps your case. Photos, dashcam clips, police details, medical records, and witness contacts can all support your claim. Do not worry if you do not have everything; we can help gather what is needed.
Our panel of taxi accident lawyers has years of experience in handling taxi accident injury claims. You get clear advice and strong representation. We act on a no win no fee basis for most cases, so there is no upfront cost to start. Speak to us today for friendly guidance on your options.
How Long Do You Have to File a Taxi Accident Claim?
In Scotland, you usually have three years from the date of the taxi crash to start your claim. The same limit can start from the day a medical expert first connected your symptoms to the accident. Starting early is wise, as the evidence is fresh and easier to gather.
There are a few key exceptions. If the injured person does not have mental capacity, the time limit may not be applicable. For children, a trusted adult can make a claim on their behalf at any time before they turn sixteen, and once they reach sixteen, they then have three years to make a claim themselves.
Acting quickly allows us to obtain the most reliable evidence. We can gather medical records, speak to witnesses, and request CCTV or dashcam footage before it is deleted. Early advice also helps you understand funding and treatment options.
If you are unsure about your deadline, ask us and we will check it for you. We will explain each step in plain English and keep you updated as the case moves forward. Reach out today so we can make sure your position is protected.

Common Situations Leading to Taxi Accident Claims
Claiming Compensation When Another Driver Is Responsible
You can make a claim if you were a taxi passenger accident victim and another driver was at fault. In this case, your taxi driver is not at fault, and the claim is forwarded to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. You may be able to recover compensation for both pain and suffering, as well as financial damages.
This can include treatment costs, travel expenses, and loss of earnings if you were required to take time off from work. You can also request interim payments while your case is being resolved if you need the necessary support. Our panel of No Win No Fee Solicitors Scotland will walk you through the process so you understand your rights.
Claiming Compensation If the Taxi Driver Was at Fault
If you were a passenger in Scotland and your driver caused the crash, you can start a taxi chauffeur accident claim. Taxi drivers owe a duty of care to keep you safe and to keep their vehicles roadworthy. You can claim against the driver or their firm if their negligence led to your injuries.
Negligence can include erratic or dangerous driving, speeding, failing to keep a proper lookout, or using a vehicle that is not safe. If the taxi driver is found responsible for the accident, other road users may also claim against them. What matters is proving how the crash occurred and who was to blame.
Your claim may include compensation for pain and suffering, medical treatment, rehabilitation, travel expenses, and loss of earnings. Photos, dashcam footage, witness contact information, police details, and booking records are all useful pieces of evidence. If you are not sure what to do next, we will explain each step in plain English and walk you through your claim from beginning to end.
Can I Still Claim If I Wasn’t Wearing a Seatbelt in a Taxi Accident?
Yes, you can still make a claim in Scotland even if you were not wearing a seatbelt. The law expects passengers to wear one, but if another party caused the crash, you can still recover compensation. In many cases, the law uses split liability, which means your compensation award may be reduced by a fair percentage to reflect any share of blame.
We will examine the facts, medical notes, and expert opinion to see whether a seatbelt would have changed the outcome. If the taxi driver or another motorist was mainly at fault, we will pursue them for compensation. We will explain how this affects your passenger accident claim and work to secure the best result.

Taxi Accident Claims Caused by Poor or Unsafe Road Surfaces
If your taxi crash was caused by a pothole or an unsafe surface, you may be able to make a claim in Scotland. Typically, claims are made against the local authority, which is responsible for keeping roads safe. You can also make a claim if you believe that unclear markings, missing signs, or faulty traffic lights contributed to the accident.
We can help you make a claim for personal injury and recover repair costs. Useful evidence includes photos of the obstacles or dangers, witness contact details, medical records, and the exact location of the accident. Seek advice as soon as possible so evidence is preserved and your time limit for claiming is protected.
How Much Compensation Could I Receive for a Taxi Accident?
Every case is different, so there is no single average settlement for a taxi cab accident. Your compensation award depends on the severity of your injuries and their impact, and can include financial loss of earnings, treatment, travel, care, and other reasonable costs.
Taxi Accident Claims Calculator – Estimating Your Compensation
Our taxi accident calculator provides a quick estimate of your potential claim in Scotland. It considers the extent of the injury as well as the severity of the harm. You will see a guide range based on typical results.
The figures are based on recent case law and the Judicial College Guidelines. They are not a final valuation or the maximum amount of compensation you may receive because each case is unique. Speak to us for a tailored assessment that also covers financial damages like earnings, treatment, and care.
No Win, No Fee Taxi Accident Claims Explained
No win no fee means you can start a taxi claim in Scotland without paying anything up front. If your case does not succeed, you do not pay our legal fees. This helps you focus on recovery rather than costs.
When we set up your agreement, we arrange after-the-event insurance. This policy protects you from any costs your solicitor has paid out of their pocket for your claim (on investigation, reports, court fees, etc). It gives added peace of mind during the process.
You only pay a fee if your claim wins. The success fee is agreed at the start, so you know how it works. There are no hidden charges.
Where liability is admitted, we will try to secure interim payments. These can help with treatment, travel, and day-to-day bills while the case is ongoing. Early funds can ease pressure on you and your family.
If you are making a cab accident claim, our panel will explain funding in plain English and determine whether no win no fee is appropriate for you. We keep you informed at every stage and ensure you understand your options. You are protected from financial risk while we work to achieve the best possible outcome.

What Evidence Do You Need to Support a Taxi Accident Claim?
Strong evidence makes your road traffic accident claim faster and clearer. You need to show that someone else was partly or fully responsible for your injuries. Do not worry if you cannot collect everything on day one; we can help fill the gaps.
Helpful evidence includes the items below:
- Date, time, and exact location of the crash
- A short account of what happened and who you think is at fault
- Taxi details such as plate number, driver name, and the licensing authority
- Registration numbers, insurer, and contact details for all vehicles involved
- Police incident number and any officer details
- Photos or video of the scene, vehicle positions, and damage
- CCTV or dashcam footage and body cam, if available
- Names and contact details for witnesses
- Your booking record or receipt from the taxi firm or app
- Medical notes from hospital or GP and details of treatment given
- Proof of earnings, such as payslips or accounts for loss of income
- Receipts for travel, medication, repairs, and other out-of-pocket costs
Try to keep a simple timeline and store documents in one place. Save digital files with clear names and make backup copies. Acting early helps preserve footage and records that might be deleted.
If some evidence is missing, tell us what you have, and we will do the rest. Our team can request records, contact witnesses, and secure expert reports. With the right proof, your claim has a stronger foundation and a better chance of a fair settlement.
How Long Does a Taxi Accident Claim Usually Take?
The length of a taxi accident claim in Scotland varies by case. Claims move faster when the person at fault accepts responsibility early and the injuries are simple. More complex cases take longer, especially if medical recovery takes time to complete or expert reports are required.
If responsibility is shared between your taxi driver and another motorist, the process may also take longer, as liability has to be fairly divided. Good early evidence and clear medical proof help keep things on track.
For an estimate tailored to your situation, get in touch and tell us what happened. Send your details through our enquiry form, and a specialist will explain likely timescales and the next steps in clear, simple language.
Injuries Most Commonly Claimed After Taxi Accidents
Every taxi crash is different, but some injuries come up again and again. The most common are whiplash, neck and head injuries, burns, and serious brain injuries. Some people also suffer wider, serious harm that affects daily life and work.
We guide you to the right medical checks and rehabilitation so nothing is missed. Clear evidence and early treatment can improve recovery and strengthen your claim. If you have any symptoms after a taxi accident, get advice and keep a note of how you feel day by day.
Can I Claim for a Taxi Accident Caused by Hazardous Road Conditions?
Yes, you can make a claim in Scotland if hazardous road conditions caused your taxi accident. The claim is usually made against the local council or the road authority in charge of maintenance. Photograph the defect and seek advice as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
What If the Taxi Driver Was Uninsured?
Yes, you can still make a claim in Scotland if the taxi driver was not insured. Your case would be handled by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, which deals with claims involving drivers who do not have insurance. The same is true if another vehicle involved was uninsured.
You will still need evidence such as photos, witness information, and medical records. We handle MIB claims on a regular basis and will guide you through each step to ensure that your rights and time limits are protected.
Understanding Split Liability in Taxi Accident Claims
This means that more than one person is partly to blame for a taxi accident. If you were partly to blame for the accident, you can still make a claim, but your compensation will be less.
For example, if you were not wearing a seatbelt while the driver failed to take proper care, each party might be judged equally at fault. In that case, you would receive 50% of the full compensation award.
Insurers will look at the evidence to agree on fair percentages. Photos, medical notes, witness details, and any footage can make a real difference. Speaking to a lawyer early will help you understand how responsibility is likely to be divided and ensure your claim stays on track.
Will I Need to Go to Court for a Taxi Accident Claim?
It is very rare to attend court for a taxi accident claim in Scotland. Most insurers settle before a hearing, so fewer than one per cent reach court.
If your case does go to court, you may not need to appear in person. We manage the legal steps, keep you updated, and prepare you if attendance is required.
Do the Whiplash Reforms Affect Taxi Accident Claims?
No. The 2021 whiplash reforms apply in England and Wales, not Scotland. Taxi accident claims in Scotland follow Scottish law, with compensation based on medical evidence and your injuries rather than a fixed whiplash tariff.
