Specialist Service to Commercial and Professional Drivers
If you are a taxi driver, owner of a taxi company, operate minibuses, coaches, courier vehicles, haulage lorries, or any other income generating vehicles, then we can help you.Our specialist division, RTA Financial Recovery, have been dealing the claims for income earning vehicles for many years and have recovered substantial amounts of money for our clients who have been involved in motor accidents that where not their fault. If the driver of the vehicle was injured, then we can provide the service completely free of charge and can ensure that all the correct information is obtained and forwarded to the appointed solicitor. If on the other hand, there was no injury, we are able to deal with a claim for compensation on a fee basis. For this, we will act for you to recover your loss of earnings, out of pocket expenses, insurance excess or repair costs, hire vehicle costs and any other expenses associated with your claim. We can often put you in touch with a supplier of a hire vehicle to replace your vehicle while it is off the road. Loss of earnings recovery is a specialist area of knowledge and is not fully understood by all Legal Expenses claims handlers. The difficulty lies in providing satisfactory proof of the financial loss to insurance companies. This is particularly difficult when most of the client’s income is cash based, as with a self-employed taxi driver. Insurance companies will not accept a note stating you earn £75.00 per day for example. They require detailed income and expenditure records, copies of profit & loss accounts and income tax returns, details of your accountant or bookkeeper. Having obtained this information, most insurance companies then calculate the daily loss and often use the wrong basis of calculation. More often than not, they arrive at a loss figure well below the correct amount and the client feels obliged to accept it. We can ensure the correct basis of calculation is used and that you receive the level of compensation you are entitled to. To summarise, if you operate an income-earning vehicle and have been involved in an accident where someone else is to blame, and it occurred within the past three years, we can help you.
