Passenger compensation claims and all modes of transport


Passengers on all types of transport put their trust in the driver, captain, or pilot of the vehicle they are travelling in to act in a responsible manner and keep them safe during the journey.

Whatever their age and whether they are a paying customer on public transport or getting a lift for free, victims of non-fault personal injury can make a claim for their pain, suffering and any resulting loss of earnings. Young children will need an adult to make a claim on their behalf.

Depending on the type of transport being used, and the circumstances behind the incident, an accident could result in anything from a minor injury to death.

The effects of a passenger injury can be stressful for both the victim and their family, and might even lead to further health problems such as depression due to lack of sleep or loss of appetite after an incident.

The person who suffers the injury may even need to participate in rehabilitation if they are unfortunate enough to sustain severe injuries which result in a short-term coma or amputation of one of more limbs, for example.

All of this can cost a lot of money, and the damages received from the other side should also reflect the suffering that the victim has had to go through and may continue to go through for the rest of their lives.

Making a passenger compensation claim to receive settlement
After sustaining a personal injury in a non-fault accident you could be eligible to claim for compensation, whatever type of transport you were in.
