Had an Accident on Public Transport?

Public transport like buses and trains is used by millions of people every day around the UK. Every year, more than 3 billion bus journeys are made in the UK.
Whether you use public transport every day or just once in a while, you could be involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Types of Public Transport Accidents

Because you are using a service provided by someone else, public transport accidents are often not the passengers’ fault. Lots of accidents can happen while using public transport, including:

Sliding on wet surfaces while transport is moving
Tripping or falling when boarding or getting off
Tripping or falling over luggage or other items
Injuries caused by sharp edges or faults on fixtures and fittings
Injuries caused by reckless or careless driving
Collisions caused by the driver, another road user or a pedestrian

Bus Passenger Accident Claims

If you were a passenger on a bus when the accident happened, you can usually claim compensation regardless of who caused it — even if the bus driver themselves was at fault. Bus operators are legally required to carry insurance to cover passenger injury claims, so you’re not claiming from an individual driver personally.

How Much Compensation for a Bus Accident?

The amount of compensation for a bus accident depends on the severity of your injuries, any financial losses you’ve suffered, and the impact on your day-to-day life. Compensation can cover pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical treatment, and rehabilitation costs.

If You’ve Had a Public Transport Accident

If you’ve been injured in a public transport accident, you might have to take some time off work. If your injuries are more severe or long-lasting, you may not be able to work at all. Lost earning and treatment costs can put a strain on your finances. In these circumstance, it can be helpful to seek compensation for the accident.
