Common injuries
Public transport accidents can cause serious injuries because passengers are often standing, unrestrained, or caught off guard. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled claims like yours before.
Being thrown into seats, poles, or the floor during sudden stops. Even a "minor" head knock can affect memory, concentration, and your ability to work.
Arms, wrists, hips, and ribs from falls on buses or platforms. These injuries mean months off work, surgery, and lengthy rehabilitation.
Sudden braking and collisions cause neck strain, spinal damage, and back trauma. Whiplash injury claims are common after bus accidents.
Torn ligaments, strained muscles, and dislocated joints from being thrown around in buses, trains, or ferries during unexpected movements.
From broken glass, sharp edges, or falling against hard surfaces. These injuries can leave permanent scarring and require stitches or surgery.
Anxiety, PTSD, and fear of using public transport again. The mental impact is a real injury that deserves real compensation. We make sure it's included.
1 If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a public transport accident claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If you were injured on a bus, train, tram or ferry because the operator failed in their duty of care, you absolutely deserve compensation. As a passenger, you trusted them to get you there safely. No seatbelts on buses, crowded platforms, faulty doors, you're vulnerable in ways you shouldn't be.
We see passengers dealing with pain, medical bills mounting up, and time off work with no income. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
You absolutely can claim for any bus accident where you weren't at fault. Bus companies have a legal duty to keep you safe, and when they fail through harsh braking, poor driving, or unsafe conditions, they're liable for your injuries. Call us on 0333 006 8282, we'll handle everything on a No Win, No Fee¹ basis.
Train accident compensation depends on your specific injuries and circumstances, but the Judicial College Guidelines show £2,090-£7,410 for most soft tissue injuries depending on recovery time. More serious injuries or permanent damage can be worth significantly more. We'll give you a realistic estimate based on your exact situation.
No upfront payment is needed to start a No Win, No Fee¹ public transport accident claim. If the claim is unsuccessful, no success fee is charged. If it succeeds, the agreed success fee and cancellation terms are explained before you proceed.
You can absolutely still claim even if you didn't get immediate medical attention after your public transport accident. Many people don't realise they're injured until hours or days later due to shock and adrenaline. Get in touch. It's No Win, No Fee¹ and we'll arrange proper medical documentation for your claim.
Simple public transport accidents with clear liability typically settle within 4-12 weeks. More complex cases involving serious injuries can take 6-18 months as we need comprehensive medical evidence. We'll give you realistic timelines from day one so you know exactly what to expect.
Public transport accidents are more common than most people think. The Office of Rail and Road reported over 2,500 passenger injuries on railways in 2022-23, while bus and coach accidents account for thousands more injuries each year.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've been injured on public transport.
