When you use public transport you expect as a passenger, that you’ll endure a safe journey to your destination. However that’s not always the case!
With autumn slowly creeping in, those winter bus journeys are going to be something we all dread. Getting up an extra hour in the morning, waiting at a bus stop or railway/tube station in wet and cold conditions, it’s not a nice experience…
When using public transport the driver of the bus, tram, train etc owes you, as a customer, a duty of care.
If you have suffered an injury from an accident on a bus or other form of public transport then you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim. As with any other accident, you can get compensation for your pain and suffering along with any financial losses such as wages, costs, physiotherapy, etc…
There are a number of public transport claims that come under this category… They include:
- Coach or bus
- Trains
- Taxi
- Ship or ferry
- Aircraft
When you’re looking to make a compensation claim, it can often be a confusing time, with so many injury law firms saying they will take on your claim on a no win, no fee basis.
But how do you know who’s going to benefit you the most?
