Taxi Accident Claim Experts
Taxi Accident Claims are vital to get the compensation you deserve if you have been injured by, or while on, a taxi.
Whether you've been travelling as a passenger in a taxi, or you were driving a vehicle that has been hit, or even a pedestrian crossing the road. If you've been hurt or suffered any kind of financial loss due to the accident, we can help you claim the compensation you rightly deserve.
Both physical and psychological injuries can ensue depending on the exact circumstances of the event and of course, the seriousness of injury sustained. Sometimes it can be difficult to cope in the aftermath of an accident for a variety of reasons.
An injury is likely to be causing you pain and suffering but it can also place limitations on your lifestyle and ability to work, meaning you may also suffer a loss in income.
Our specialist Road Traffic Accident Solicitors have a huge amount of experience in bringing successful Taxi Accident Claims against those responsible when members of the public are injured.
Compensation settlements are designed to acknowledge the pain and suffering caused, whether mental or physical damage, and to assist in all manner of ways to get life back on track as much as possible.
Pursuing compensation for your taxi accident is not something you have to do on your own, you need specialist advice.
Trust us to help you.
*Please note that new regulations apply for all car accidents after the 01/06/21 and compensation will now be awarded as per a Government tariff scheme.

My case was handled in a courteous and professional manner from beginning to end. I was kept informed throughout and the settlement obtained was very satisfactory.

Taxi Accident Claims are split into 2 categories:
In the first case scenario, the taxi driver may be reluctant to provide their insurance details as they can lose their licence. If you do not know the name of the driver, we would suggest you always take down their vehicle registration or operating number, otherwise, it can be difficult to obtain their insurance credentials and ultimately, it will likely be their insurers that are forced to settle the claim.
In the second case scenario, the taxi driver often takes the third party details and again, unless you ask for them whilst you are still in the taxi, it can be difficult to obtain this information at a later date. Whatever the case, you cannot be at fault as a passenger.
We have experience supporting claimants through all types of Taxi Accident Claims. People can be injured as passengers of the taxi, of other vehicles, or even as pedestrians. In order to support this variety of claims, we have developed extensive knowledge of claims such as:

All road traffic accidents can cause very severe injuries, and taxi accidents are no different. It can be even more devastating to suffer serious injuries when someone else is driving, especially a professional who owes you a duty of care.
Some of the most common injuries we see in Taxi Accident Claims include:
This is far from an exhaustive list, and injuries can be varied both in type and severity. Factors such as speed, distractions, and whether the passengers were properly wearing a seatbelt can affect the injuries sustained.
Whatever the consequences of your accident, our Taxi Accident Lawyers can help. Get in touch today to find out how much your claim could be worth.
You are likely to have a valid claim if the accident that you were injured by was caused by your taxi driver. Drivers of private hire vehicles, such as taxis and Ubers, owe their passengers a duty of care. Breaching this duty leaves them liable for all injuries and damages in case of an accident.
Examples of ways a taxi driver could breach their duty of care towards you, and potentially cause an accident, include:
Any example of negligent behaviour by your taxi or Uber driver that can be linked to the accident can be proof of their duty of care breach.
Ride sharing apps have become incredibly common, especially with the younger generations. It’s very easy to book a private hire vehicle with your phone, and quickly get where you need to go. Unfortunately, the ease of access also means a lower bar of quality for Uber drivers compared to traditional taxi companies, and accidents involving Uber cars and passengers are far from uncommon.
If you have been injured in an accident caused by the negligence of an Uber driver, you may have a valid claim. Uber accident compensation claims are subject to the same claims process as any other compensation claim for a road accident involving a private hire vehicle.
If you have been involved in an accident Involving a Taxi, whether as another road user or as a passenger and sustained an injury, whether minor or very serious. Our specialist RTA Solicitors can help you make a Taxi Accident Claim, to secure you the compensation you legally deserve.

Richard Layfield LLB
Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and am head of Personal Injury throughout the firm as well as having full responsibility for managing the Rhyl office.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex, serious injury claims.
Outside of work I'm a keen rugby fan, who enjoys running and travel.

Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.

Road accidents are always a very stressful, and sometimes traumatic, experience. It can be difficult to focus on proper procedure, as those involved may be injured or in shock.
Being able to complete some of these tasks can massively help future Taxi Accident Claims, should you decide to claim for compensation at a later date:
Being able to remain calm, once your injuries have been taken care of, can massively help your future Taxi Accident Claim. We can help you assess your claim and the evidence you have collected during our consultation, so contact us today to find out if you have a valid compensation claim for a taxi accident.
In the UK, all personal injury claims, including Taxi Accident Injury Claims, are subject to strict time limits. In most cases, you will only be able to start your claim for compensation within 3 years from the original accident.
However, some cases are treated differently. For example, if you only discover the full extent of your injuries at a later date, you are able to bring your claim forward up to 3 years from the “date of discovery”. Fatal accidents are also treated differently, with family members being able to start the legal process for up to 3 years from the date of the death rather than the date of the accident.
Other rules apply to those with limited mental capacity, criminal injury cases, and children under 18 who may have suffered an injury in a taxi accident. If you’re unsure about the time limit that your claim is subject to, contact PSR Solicitors today for a free consultation.
