Can I Make a Public Transport Accident Claim?

When considering if you can make a public transport accident claim, the short answer is, yes; the more descriptive response is it is dependent on the circumstances of the accident.

There are many differing situations where, as long as it can be proven you weren’t at fault for the injuries sustained, you could be eligible to make a claim after an accident on public transport, with the transport provider the potential at-fault party.

Why might a provider be liable for a public transport accident claim?

There is a duty of care that providers of public transport must adhere to, ensuring the safety of their passengers when using their services.

If that is found to be lacking in a situation and an accident is the result, of injuries to passengers, then those affected could submit a claim for personal injury compensation to help with the recovery or adjustment to their injuries.

What type of accident falls under this?

Whether it is on a bus, train, tram or in a taxi, or any other type of public transport, there is the possibility that negligence, on the part of the driver of the vehicle, could lead to an accident that wasn’t your fault, but you’re left to pick up the pieces after.

If the driver were to break unexpectedly or suddenly or cause a road traffic accident, this could have a profound effect on passengers who may be thrown from their seats.

Slips and falls on hazardous surfaces that haven’t been attended to by the driver or transport provider can also cause injury. If you’re not at fault, you could make a public transport accident claim.

Don’t deal with the fall-out alone

If an accident occurs, the person affected can often seek to explain it away and avoid embarrassment amid a busy scene by shrugging it off and simply getting on with things.

However, serious injury can be sustained from these kinds of incidents; you shouldn’t suffer the consequences without support and assistance.

A personal injury claim, that seeks accountability from the at-fault party, can provide that necessary help to cope with the fall-out of a non-fault accident.
