Accidents on Public Transport

Bus Accidents are the most common public transport accident.

Operators of public transport have a duty of care to their customers.

This means that their vehicles, equipment and facilities should be properly maintained and their staff fully trained to ensure public safety.

If you have been hurt whilst travelling on a bus or coach you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries together with the financial loss you have suffered as a result.

Ridley and Hall's personal injury team have dealt with cases where passengers have been injured as a result of harsh or severe braking, or where the bus driver has simply not kept a proper look out for elderly passengers making their way down the bus to disembark. Such accidents can have a shocking effect on the elderly and they may never recover from their injuries. Also because most public buses do not have seat belts any harsh braking is likely to have a serious effect on passengers particularly the elderly and the young who do not get the chance to brace themselves.
