\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have many clients approaching us after being involved in a bus or a coach accident<\/strong>.\u00a0 Many of them are unsure if they have a claim and or who the claim may be against.\u00a0 This lack of knowledge surrounding this area of personal injury<\/a> may be due to the large number of accidents focused at road traffic accidents<\/a> in general for car accidents.<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in an accident whilst on a bus or a coach you may have a claim for compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 If the bus\/coach was involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> then you may have a claim against the driver of the car at fault<\/strong>. If the accident was the fault of the bus driver you may have a claim against the bus company<\/strong>. With regard to dealing with motor insurance claims your specialist personal injury solicitor<\/strong> will correspond with the insurance company of the party at fault on your behalf.<\/p>\n

The above being said, accidents whilst on buses or coaches may not just be a due to a road traffic accident<\/a>. Many clients come to The Injury Lawyers<\/a> and we successfully claim compensation<\/strong> for the client falling over on a bus. In order to have a potential claim a fall must be the fault of the driver or another road user. There are many potential reasons for falling over whilst on a bus\/coach; it may be that the bus jerked violently to a stop, thus knocking you over, or you may have slipped on a spillage or tripped on a trip hazard in an aisle.
\n<\/p>\n

Bus companies have a duty to protect their passengers as far as is reasonably possible from harm<\/strong>. In order to prevent accidents and increase your own safety I have listed a few tips below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sit at the closest available seat when boarding a bus\/coach to avoid falling over when the bus pulls away from the stop.<\/li>\n
  2. Ensure small children are not sat on the seat closest to the aisle.<\/li>\n
  3. Ensure no bags or other hazards are left in the aisle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we work hard on behalf of our clients to ensure the best possible amounts of compensation. We have a vast amount of experience in bus and coach accidents and give free claim assessments whether we take the claim on or not<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
