1. In an ideal world, don't bother. As per Showtime's posting what goes round comes round and more claims pushes up the cost of insurance which may put another company out of business etc etc. You could shrug off the cuts thankful in the fact you came out of it OK and just send the taxi's Insurers a letter with a photo of your damaged shoes and a copy of the original receipt to prove how much you paid for them.
2. However, as we don't live in the ideal world, I recommend you seek a free consultation with a reputable solicitor. Many will look at your case on a no win no fee basis but make sure you read the small print. Before doing this you may want to consider that you may well have to see a few Doctors for them to compile reports etc and it will be a faff. If your injuries, pain and suffering are genuine you will have nothing to worry about.
Did you get the Insurance details for the cab firm or were/are they reluctant to provide them?
