Key Points to Remember When Making a Claim for an Accident on Public Transport
- Public transport operators have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of their passengers. If you’ve been injured due to their failure to meet this duty of care, you may be entitled to compensation.
- You generally have up to three years from the date of the accident—or from the time a medical professional diagnoses your injuries—to file a claim.
- The compensation you may receive for an accident on public transport depends on the severity of your injuries and their long-term impact on your life and well-being.
What is Bus Accident Claim?
Government regulations state that bus and coach operators have a duty of care for the safety of their passengers whilst travelling.
