Questions about making a tram accident claim? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If the tram operator, driver, or transport company caused your accident through negligence, whether it's operator error, mechanical failure, or poor maintenance, you deserve compensation. Trams weigh up to 54 tonnes, and when things go wrong the injuries can be devastating.
We see tram accident victims struggling with medical bills, time off work, and the stress of dealing with transport authorities. None of that should be your burden. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Absolutely. As a passenger, you've paid for safe transport. When the tram operator fails to deliver that, they owe you compensation. Keep your ticket as proof you were on board, along with any receipts for medical costs and travel expenses caused by the accident.
Compensation depends on your injuries and circumstances. Minor head injuries typically range from £2,070-£11,980, while serious spinal or crushing injuries can be worth significantly more. Whiplash injury claims are also common after tram accidents. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and travel costs.
Yes. Pedestrian accident claims make up the majority of tram accident cases. If the driver failed to stop in time, was travelling too fast, or ignored safety protocols, you have a strong case. You don't need to prove fault alone, that's exactly what we do for you.
Yes. If a tram driver made a mistake, running a red signal, taking a corner too fast, not stopping in time, then the tram operator is liable. This covers car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and cycling accidents where a tram caused the collision.
Tram operators have deep pockets and specialist legal teams. We know exactly how to handle them and won't let them pin the blame on you.
You have three years from your accident date to start your claim. Don't wait though. Evidence disappears, CCTV gets deleted, and witnesses forget details over time. The sooner you start, the stronger your claim becomes.
The UK operates eight tram systems including Manchester Metrolink, Sheffield Supertram, and Nottingham Express Transit. The Office of Rail and Road reports hundreds of tram-related incidents each year, including collisions with vehicles and pedestrians.
Trams weigh up to 54 tonnes and cannot stop quickly, making accidents particularly serious. If you've been injured in a tram accident that wasn't your fault, you deserve compensation.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after a tram accident.
Don't let a transport operator's negligence cost you thousands. We fight for every penny you're owed, and there are no upfront costs*.
