Taxi and Chauffer Claim

For any taxi driver or chauffeur involved in an accident, the consequences can be massive. The resulting injuries and stress dealing with the situation can be bad enough but when your livelihood is at stake - things can become all the more worrying. That is where Accidents direct can help. As well as offering expert advice on the injuries you have suffered, we aim to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

One of the many services offered by Accidents Direct to clients is to provide a like for like vehicle replacement scheme. So unlike many other companies we won’t put you in a Fiesta if you need a People Carrier!

So how do you know if you have a claim? If you have suffered personal injury, loss of income or out of pocket expenses due to an accident, you have a claim. Simple. Some people can be worried about the consequences of pursuing a claim; others do not want the hassle. At Accidents direct we take the stress away, offer you jargon free, honest advice from the moment you contact us.

So how much will all this cost me? We offer a completely free service to our clients, you receive 100% of the compensation recovered, and in the unlikely event that your claim goes on to be unsuccessful – you will not be required to pay a single penny.

In almost all of our Taxi or chauffeur claims, the insurance company for the third party who was responsible for the accident pays the compensation. What if there are no third party details? Not a problem, in the event of an uninsured or hit and run driver it is possible to claim compensation through the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) an organization set up to compensate the victims of negligent uninsured or untraced motorists.

What if there was no third party involved? Many motorists can be involved in dangerous accidents due to defects with roads including hazards such as potholes or unmaintained roads. In this case we would use our expertise and pursue a claim against the authorities or local council who are responsible for the upkeep of the road.

Why should I use accidents direct instead of my own insurer? Our team of legal experts are not tied to any insurer so we act in your best interest and not for the insurance company. What may seem like the easy option by letting your insurers deal with your claim may not always be the most prudent. The simple reason – if both parties are insured under the same company they will look to keep costs to a minimum and offer a small percentage of what you are actually entitled to. Our team of independent solicitors work for you, with you and will look to maximise the compensation figure you receive.

Our expertise is unrivaled, our aim is simple. We know we can’t take away the pain of the injury, but what we can do is offer you step by step advice and support to ensure you are fully compensated and receive what you are entitled to – a small consolation for the stress and suffering you will have endured.

Contact our freephone helpline on 0800 0199 299 to see if you are entitled to claim compensation or simply fill out our brief online claim form and one of our dedicated team will be in touch very shortly.
