What Is a Public Transport Accident Claim?

A public transport accident claim is a personal injury case filed by someone who has suffered harm while using a form of public transportation, such as a bus, train, or tram. These accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, including driver negligence, poor vehicle maintenance, or unsafe station conditions.

Common Causes of Public Transport Accidents

Accidents involving public transport can happen in many ways, including:

• Driver Negligence – Accidents caused by bus or train operators who fail to follow traffic laws, drive recklessly, or fail to ensure passenger safety.
• Mechanical Failures – Poorly maintained or faulty vehicles can lead to dangerous situations for passengers.
• Slips, Trips, and Falls – Wet floors, inadequate signage, or poorly designed platforms and stations can result in serious injuries.
• Overcrowding and Passenger Incidents – Overloaded vehicles or chaotic conditions can lead to crush injuries, falls, or other harm.

Types of Injuries in Public Transport Accidents

The severity of injuries can vary depending on the type of accident, but common injuries include:

• Fractures and Broken Bones – Collisions, falls, or abrupt stops can cause broken arms, legs, or ribs.
• Head and Neck Injuries – Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, or whiplash are common in public transport accidents.
• Soft Tissue Injuries – Sprains, strains, and ligament damage can result from sudden jolts or impacts.
• Psychological Trauma – Victims may suffer from anxiety, PTSD, or emotional distress following a traumatic incident.
