How Can You Do This?

You are unlikely to be eligible for Legal Aid.  You are also unlikely to be a member of a trade union who often fight claims on their members’ behalf.  You may have Legal Expenses Insurance which you would have paid for by an annual premium. This would entitle you to free legal assistance but you may find with this that you end up dealing with someone at long distance, involving you in long distance telephone calls, correspondence and quite a lot of hassle. 

You could pursue the claim yourself but you may not find it very easy obtaining money from an insurance company!  It is unlikely that you would consider instructing a solicitor because most claims arising in this sort of situation would be classed as “Small Claims”, that is a claim under £5,000, and with these types of claims legal costs cannot be recovered.  It would therefore just be uneconomic to use a solicitor in such cases because it might end up costing you more than you are actually able to claim. 

We offer a real value alternative. However small the claim, perhaps only a couple of days lost earnings, we will help.

What Can You Claim?

Where a private motorist has an accident he is merely without his car and his claim would probably just be for repairs, loss of use or the hire of an alternative vehicle and nothing else. He can catch the bus to work or get a taxi! 

With a taxi driver, however, when he has an accident he is losing his livelihood from day one.  With a taxi firm or taxi company, where one of their vehicles has an accident, there is a loss of revenue.  We specialise in recovering this.  We recover not only loss of earnings or revenue but we will also recover repair costs or insurance excess, the write-off value of the vehicle where it is considered to be beyond economic repair and also we can recover towing charges, vehicle storage, meter/radio transfers and anything else that has been lost. 

We will deal with the claim quickly and efficiently and agree a percentage fee at the outset or a fixed fee if preferred. This fee only applies to the loss of earnings element of the claim. Recovery of the vehicle repair cost and the other losses mentioned above is all free of charge.
