Who can make a taxi accident claim?

If you have been injured in a taxi/cab accident that was not mostly your fault, you can make a motor vehicle accident claim regardless of being the passenger, driver, or pedestrian. If you are injured in a taxi/cab accident in the course of employment you can make a workers compensation claim regardless of fault.

Note Taxi accident compensation includes Uber passengers and drivers.

If you are not the injured person but you are financially dependent on the person that was severely injured, you can make a claim on behalf of them.

If you were at fault but your injuries are considered catastrophic injuries you may be able to claim for treatment, care and support.

  2. Report the accident to police within 28 days and obtain an event number
  3. Get your GP to fill out the Certificate of Capacity and complete the Application for Personal Injury Benefits.
  4. Contact a motor vehicle accident lawyer to know if you are eligible to make a common law claim which entitles you to continue to receive income support payment and be covered for medical expenses beyond 6 months from the accident.

What are the time limits for a taxi accident?

You have 28 days to submit a Personal Injury Benefits Form to claim income support payments prior to the date you lodge the form; otherwise, the time limit is 3 months.

You have 3 years to file your claim with the Personal Injuries Commission to make a common law claim if your injuries are assessed as being non-minor and you were not mostly at fault.

How long does a taxi accident claim take?

The resolution time for your taxi accident claim may vary depending on various factors. Each road accident and its recovery period is unique. Generally speaking, it usually takes 1.5 – 2 years for our lawyers to resolve similar claims for our clients who did not undergo any surgery. Undergoing surgery extends the period since your medical condition must be stabilised in order for your injuries to properly be assessed. Our lawyers will try to resolve your claim as soon as possible by maximising your entitlements.
