Public transport claims
If you have been involved in an accident while travelling on public transport, then it is highly likely the accident will not be your fault.
If unfortunately you have been injured while travelling on public transport, you may be able to claim for compensation. Our Middlesbrough based team are happy to help so get in touch today to discuss your case through a free initial consultation.
Public transport compensation claims aren’t the usual traffic accident claims that you’d necessarily associate with getting injured on the road. That’s because you see them as having a duty of care towards commuters. All public transport networks have a duty of care towards their passengers, have to comply with health and safety standards, and should ensure where possible that your journey is a safe one.
What can you Claim For?
Public transport accidents are more often than you think and are not always as a result of a direct collision. For example; It may be possible to make a claim if you were injured as a result of heavy braking or if you suffer a fall on a bus where the driver sets off without waiting for you to sit down. Luckily most buses have CCTV footage available following an accident, which will usually confirm the circumstances of the accident.
Public transport compensation claims take the following into consideration:
- Physical Injuries
- Psychological Injury
- Treatment Costs
- Past & Future Loss of Earnings
- Related Financial Losses/Expenses
