If you have been involved in a motor accident, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Call now on 0800 3213 3239 for a no obligation chat with one of our solicitors.

Road traffic accident compensation claims usually involve a claim for compensation for injury (both physical and psychological) together with a claim for the repairs to the vehicle, recovery of the insurance excess or a claim for the vehicle being written off. In addition loss of earnings for the time the injured person spends off work and other expenses such as travel costs, hire car charges and medical bills can also be recovered.

In the case of more serious injures there can be compensation claims for future losses also if they cannot return to their job due to the nature of the injury they have suffered or they can only work reduced hours.

The effects of such accidents can be far reaching for the injured person and their family.

Public transport is being promoted by the government as a means to reduce congestion and pollution and the services are improving as a result. As such more people are using these services and this means that more accidents will occur.

Train travel is generally a very safe mode of transport but when accidents do occur they are normally very serious.

With trams and buses the majority of accidents are caused by other road users crashing into them and injuring the passengers inside.

It is vitally important that you ensure there is evidence of you being on the train, bus or tram as this is often disputed by the insurers after the event. Ensure that you keep hold of your ticket and provide your details to a member of staff or the local station/depot. It is advisable to also report the matter to the police.
