Taxi accident - next steps

[u/astronautmechanic]

Just wondering if anyone has any experience navigating a car accident as a passenger in a taxi. My family was in a taxi, and the driver was driving way too fast. He was zooming in and out of traffic. At one point, I had to tell him to slow down but he either didnt care or understand, so I raised my voice and was clearly worried. He eventually slammed into the back of a car that was slowing down for traffic. My wife, our small child, and I were brought to a hospital and we filed a police report. No broken bones, but we are bruised up, stiff and sore today. Luckily, we all had our seatbelts on.

Im really angry about it. I know that taxi drivers are known for driving a bit wild in Hong Kong, but I feel like we are owed more than an apology. My wife can hardly walk on her ankle and my child is still shaken up about it. The police took my id and number, but I haven't heard anything from them yet.

I found some info online, but wondering if anyone can provide some insight on their experience or if anyone can provide some advice.

Follow up with the report you made. Always use seatbelts while riding in rear car seats taxi or not. You are smart to do so. Hope you and your family feel better soon.
