Taxi Accident in Lisburn: CRASH Supports Driver with Replacement Taxi Hire After Non-Fault Collision

For professional drivers, time off the road can have a direct impact on earnings and daily operations. Following a non-fault road traffic accident on Gravelhill Road in Lisburn, CRASH Services helped one taxi driver remain mobile by arranging a replacement taxi, coordinating repairs, and managing communication with the at-fault insurer.

What Happened in the Lisburn Taxi Accident?

Our customer John*, a professional taxi driver, was involved in a road traffic collision on Gravelhill Road in Lisburn.

John noticed the vehicle in front beginning to reverse and brought his taxi to a complete stop. Despite this, the other driver continued reversing and struck John’s stationary vehicle.

John had taken reasonable steps to avoid the collision, and the accident was not his fault.

Why Was Replacement Taxi Hire Important?

As a taxi driver, John relies on his vehicle to earn a living. Being without a suitable vehicle could have resulted in cancelled bookings, lost income, and disruption to his business.

For professional drivers, maintaining access to a roadworthy replacement vehicle is often essential after a non-fault accident. CRASH Services understands the importance of keeping drivers working while their claim and repairs are being handled.

How Did CRASH Services Help?

CRASH Services supported John by arranging:

• A replacement taxi so he could continue working while his own vehicle was being repaired
• Communication with the at-fault insurer to help progress the claim
• Repair coordination through an approved repairer
• Regular updates throughout the process

By managing the claim from start to finish, CRASH Services helped minimise disruption and allowed John to focus on running his business.

As this was a non-fault accident, support was provided at no cost to John, with eligible costs recovered from the at-fault insurer.
