Public Transport Accidents
The term public transport covers a range of things, such as:
Train/underground
Taxi/minicab
Bus/coach
If you are a passenger on any means of public transport you could be entitled to compensation. This compensation will cover your loss of earning and any medical expenses.
Most train accidents occur due to trains being derailed and colliding with other trains, in 2004 a car collided with a train at a level crossing resulting in seven deaths. Also in 2001 the Selby rail disaster, in which the driver of a Land Rover plunged off the M62 onto the East Coast main line after apparently falling asleep at the wheel; he caused the death of six passengers and four railway staff and 82 people suffered serious injuries.
Bus accidents are the most common public transport accidents. In London alone 5 million people step onto buses on a daily basis. The most common injuries sustained are:
