Falls – Public Transport

Sometimes falls on public transport – buses, trams or trains – simply couldn’t be avoided and no matter how bad the injury, there really is no one to blame. Say for example a dog, or worse still, a child was to run out leaving the driver with no choice but to break suddenly.

However, much of the time human error in one form or another has a part to play when falls occur on public transport and that is when you need Russell Worth solicitors in your corner.

Common circumstances we assist with include:-

1. Another vehicle crashing into a bus causing a jolt or fall.
2. A lapse in concentration by the driver when approaching stationary traffic or a red light causing them to break suddenly.
3. Driving too fast or inappropriately in adverse weather conditions.
4. Falls over items left in walkways.
5. Slips due to uncleaned spillages.

To name but a few. The list is by no means exhaustive so if you suffered an injury on a bus, a tram or a train that we haven’t mentioned please do contact us to see if we can help.

We do say this time and time again but specialist accidents really do need specialist solicitors. That is certainly true when it comes to public transport accident and injuries. Transport companies tend to be very wary of trip or fall cases brought against them simply as there is often multiple claims brought for the same incident – which is of course understandable as there will be multiple passengers affected to varying degrees. That however can sometimes make the insurers more inclined to try and defend the cases as economically it can be worth their while to do so, if they can put off just one or two people from seeking their rightful compensation then it can be significant in cash terms.

We are Russell Worth solicitors however are not easily put off. We will fight your case on a no win no fee basis to get you the compensation you deserve.
