Compensation for public transport accidents

If you are a passenger on any type of public transport and you are injured as a result of an accident, it is likely that you can make a passenger accident injury claim.

The company that operates the vehicle you are travelling on has a duty of care towards every passenger that they carry, whether you are on a bus, coach, train, plane, tram or a taxi, may may be able to make a claim for any injuries that you sustain.

Bus or coach accident: All coaches built after 2001 are required by law to be fitted with seatbelts, this however doesn’t apply to regular service buses. Because of this if a bus brakes hard or is involved in an accident, passengers may be thrown from their seats and suffer injuries.

Train accident claims: Train accidents range from the minor, such as defective equipment involving defective steps or luggage racks to extremely serious train crashes such as the one at Potters Bar.

Aircraft accident compensation: Plane crashes are thankfully very rare, but they aren’t the only type of injury claim made against airlines. There are cases of people seeking compensation for food poisoning caused by airline food.
