Public Transport Accidents

Accidents on public transport, whether on a bus, train, or tram, can result in serious injuries. At HPA Solicitors, we specialize in handling public transport accident claims.

If you have been injured while traveling on public transport due to the negligence of the transport provider or another individual, you may be entitled to compensation.

A public transport accident claim is a personal injury claim made by an individual who has been injured while using a bus, train, tram, or other forms of public transportation. These accidents can happen due to various reasons, such as faulty infrastructure, operator negligence, or accidents caused by other passengers.

Common Causes of Public Transport Accidents

Public transport accidents can happen in a number of ways:

  • Driver Negligence: Bus or train drivers who fail to drive safely or follow traffic laws may cause accidents.
  • Faulty or Unmaintained Vehicles: Accidents can be caused by mechanical failures or poorly maintained vehicles.
  • Slips, Trips, and Falls: Inadequate signage, wet floors, or poorly designed stations can lead to slips, trips, and falls.
  • Crowd Accidents: Accidents caused by overcrowding or chaotic conditions on public transport can result in injuries.

Types of Injuries in Public Transport Accidents

Injuries can vary depending on the nature of the accident but commonly include:

  • Broken Bones: Falls or collisions can lead to broken arms, legs, or ribs.
  • Head Injuries: Injuries to the head and neck can cause concussions or more serious brain injuries.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains, sprains, and ligament injuries are common in public transport accidents.
