Passenger in a vehicle
This applies to both public and personal transport. You may be entitled to compensation for any incidents where you have suffered personal injury whilst travelling as a passenger whether by train, bus, taxi, car or as a motorcycle pillion General maintenance, insufficient security or driver's error could be the predominant factors resulting in your accident. In the event of poor road maintenance the local authority is responsible for maintenance and subsequent repair and if this proves to be insufficient and the cause of your accident, they will be liable to compensate you fully. Public transport is not exempt from compensation. Just think in recent years several highly publicised train crashes were primarily the result of poorly maintained tracks unable to handle modern trains. The transport companies rightfully compensated many of the people involved.
If you have been injured as a passenger in a vehicle your compensation claim will primarily be based on the extent of your personal injury. Other factors considered include loss of earnings and out of pocket expenses. You can also recover the cost of any treatment you received since your accident, such as physiotherapy or counselling. Once again, the trauma of any of these events is enough for any individual to cope with and is why our solicitors specialise in dealing with all the legal complexities of personal injury claims. It's our job to decipher liability and access all parties for an effective resolution, which fully protects you.
Our solicitors are experienced in dealing with the most common types of injuries such as whiplash, broken bones and bruising to more serious brain, nerve and spinal related injuries. On the basis of medical reports and related complications due to your injury, your solicitor will be able to evaluate the amount of compensation due.
