Common Causes of Uber and Taxi Accidents
Uber and taxi accidents can occur for many reasons. Some common situations include:
- Sudden stops or sharp turns that cause passenger injuries
- Collisions caused by negligent driving by the taxi or another vehicle
- Road hazards or poor weather conditions
- Pedestrian or cyclist accidents involving rideshare vehicles
Even minor collisions can result in whiplash, fractures, or soft-tissue injuries. Understanding who is liable and how to secure compensation requires specialist legal knowledge.
Taxi and Uber Passenger Accident Claims – Who Can Claim?
Passengers are among the most common victims in taxi and Uber accidents. If you were travelling as a passenger and suffered injuries in a collision, you have a strong right to bring a claim. Our Uber claim solicitors and taxi passenger accident claim specialists will ensure your compensation covers not just immediate medical costs but also lost income, rehabilitation, and the wider impact the accident has had on your life.

Our team of Uber injury lawyers work with medical professionals to ensure every injury is properly assessed, so your compensation reflects both immediate and long-term needs.
