Train, Coach & Bus Accident Claims

We are specialist personal injury solicitors who are experienced in handling accidents caused by a wide variety of vehicles, and we can help you with most train, coach or bus accident compensation claims. Being a passenger means that you cannot be held at fault for the road accident, so we'll look to pursue any and all parties responsible for your injury, whether that's the travel operator (i.e. the bus company) or another road user.

Public Transport Accident Compensation

The Public Service Vehicles (Conduct of Drivers, Inspectors, Conductors and Passengers) Regulations 1990 provide that a passenger has the right of a claim if a driver has been negligent or if there has been a breach of statutory duty.

If you are looking to make a compensation claim, it can be beneficial to collect supporting evidence as soon as possible. The evidence you collect can be a range of simple things but are ones that can really benefit your claim.

Here are a few examples:-

• The bus or train operator and route number
• The registrations of the vehicles involved
• The driver's name and employee number
• Details of other passengers or witnesses
• Ticket for the journey

Can I make a Public Transport Accident Claim?

Public transport is generally regarded to be a safe, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method of transportation. However, if an accident occurs whilst you are a passenger then you may be eligible to make a personal injury claim.

No matter what kind of injury you have suffered, we are here to make sure you make a compensation claim that will include damages for pain and suffering and also an amount to cover your medical and care needs for as long as you need them. Common types of public transport accidents include:

• Collisions with another vehicle
• Falling or tripping when getting on or off the vehicle
• Falling downstairs on a double-decker bus
• A fall from sharp acceleration/braking when either standing or seated
• Slipping due to litter or obstructions in vehicle walkways
