coach accident injury compensation claims

Common Coach Accident Claims

There are many different ways in which bus/coach related accident claims occur with individuals suffering various injuries. Some of the more common bus accidents include:

• Loss of concentration by the driver resulting in the vehicle hitting another vehicle or stationary object.
• When the electric doors are closed before a passenger is able to board or leave the vehicle.
• Spillages and rubbish left on the floor which result in slips, trips and falls.
• Prompt acceleration by the driver before a passenger has an opportunity to find a seat.
• Abrupt use of the brakes which can result in passengers hitting their heads on the seat in front.
• People hit by a bus while waiting at a bus stop.
• Dangerous manoeuvres by other motorists forcing a bus to veer off course.
• Damaged or faulty equipment on the bus can cause injuries.
• Passengers buffeted while forced to stand; often resulting in injury.
• Pedestrian hit by a bus as they cross the road.
• Poorly maintained vehicles.

While the vast majority of bus accidents and injuries may seem relatively minor, if negligence was involved you may still be entitled to compensation

Careless Drivers

If another driver was at fault for the bus accident then the claim would be filed against the driver of that vehicle, in the same way you would claim if it was a regular road traffic accident.
