As a solicitor specialising in road accident claims, I act for many taxi drivers.
Regrettably, allegations of fraud in accidents involving taxis are very frequent.
At a recent hearing in the Birmingham County Court, four claimants sued a driver for injuries supposedly suffered in a road accident but the court found that two of them were not in the vehicle at the time. It is not clear whether a taxi was involved.
As the two genuinely injured claimants had gone along with the fraud, their claims were wholly disallowed as well!
Consequently, we would recommend that taxi drivers always keep cameras in their vehicles and as well as taking photographs of the scene of the accident, they should take photographs of themselves and (with their agreement) any passengers so that their involvement can be established more easily.

Yep... The best way to avoid fraudulent accident claims is to take photographs that show actual physical damage occurred. Nothing better proves the unlikelihood of actual physical injury than photographs showing that the vehicles were not at all damaged.
