Statistics show that taxi drivers are seldom the cause of road traffic accidents but are more often on the receiving end of someone else's poor driving. The difference between the two parties is that the cab driver needs his car on the road to keep earning his living, while the person who caused the accident, very often can carry on working while their vehicle is being repaired.
If your Taxi, Private Hire or Hackney Carriage vehicle has been involved in an accident, a reputable claims management Company should provide you with:
- A replacement plated vehicle whilst yours is off the road.
- Private Hire, Hackney, purpose built and executive cars available.
- Repairs arranged at a garage of your choice.
- 100% of personal injury payments recovered.
- Excess, loss of earnings and uninsured losses recovered.
- Helpline for any accident queries.
Accident Management Companies will take over the management of the accident, liaising with both parties' insurance companies, providing the accident you the victim with a like-for-like licensed hackney carriage or plated private-hire vehicle and organising vehicle repairs.
All replacement vehicles are supplied on credit-hire so the Accident Management companies' bill is paid for by the "at fault" driver's insurance company. Any taxi driver who is a victim of a road traffic accident is legally entitled to this level of service.
