Accidents on public transport: claiming compensation
Accidents on public transport and in taxis unfortunately can often involve many more people than similar accidents between cars or motorbikes. An accident between two cars that may only have involved a handful of passengers can involve dozens if the vehicle involved was a bus. Camps Solicitors have a proven track record when it comes to aquiring accident compensation claims for clients injured on buses and as passengers in taxis.
Bus accident compensation claims
Statistically speaking, bus passengers are less likely to be injured than passengers travelling in a car. Even though buses are a safer way to travel than cars, it is a fact of life that occasionally accidents will happen.
If passengers suffer a personal injury as a result of bad driving on the part of the bus driver, it is very likely they will be able to make a successful personal injury claim for bus accident compensation against the bus company who employs the driver. It does not matter if there were no other vehicles or pedestrians involved in the accident. Here are some examples of typical accidents that can occur on a bus:
- Getting thrown from your seat or off your feet due to the driver braking or accelerating unnecessarily hard.
- Being injured when the bus goes round a corner dangerously fast.
- On double-decker buses, people going up or down the stairs may fall and injure themselves if the bus is being driven unsafely.
- Falls getting on or off the bus at a bus stop.
Bus operators have a duty of care to their passengers to ensure their safety, but if they fail in this then you may be able to make a bus accident claim for personal injury compensation, regardless of how your injury was sustained. However, if the accident was not the fault of the bus driver, then a claim can be made against the motorist who was responsible for causing the accident.
Taxi accident compensation claims
Most people will have used taxis at some time or another, when their own car is damaged, when they are going out for the evening and want to have a few drinks or often as their day to day mode of transport. However there is always a small risk that you will end up sustaining a personal injury as a result of an accident that happened whilst you were a passenger in a taxi.
The vast majority of taxi drivers are experienced drivers, but the nature of their jobs means that they often work long shifts and may not have the time to take breaks between fares. This puts them at greater risk of driver fatigue, which decreases awareness and lowers reaction speeds. Also, as they spend longer on the road than the average driver, they are more likely to be involved in an accident on the road.
If you have suffered a personal injury when you were a passenger in a taxi, even if the driver of the taxi was the one responsible for causing the accident, then Camps Solicitors will be able to help you to recover the personal injury compensation you deserve. All our claims are made against the insurance policies of the taxi drivers, their employers, or the insurance policy of the motorist who caused the accident. By making a taxi accident compensation claim with Camps you will not be taking money from the taxi driver themselves.
