The Legal Duty: Claims Against Transport Operators
Bus and coach companies owe a high duty of care to their passengers and other road users. We help you claim where the injury was caused by:
- Negligent or aggressive driving by the bus/coach driver.
- Injuries sustained inside the vehicle (e.g., falls due to sudden movement, slipping on wet floors, seating defects).
- Injuries sustained while boarding or alighting the vehicle.
- Negligent driving by a third party.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The evidence you gather immediately following an accident is vital to proving your case against the driver or local authority. We strongly advise you to:
Secure the negligent diver’s details and the vehicle make, model and registration.
Secure Witness Details
Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses immediately.
Seek Medical Help
Attend your GP or A&E immediately. Medical records linking the injury to the accident are essential for valuation.
Document Everything
Take clear photographs of the scene, road defects, and your damaged bicycle.
Keep Dashcam/Helmet Footage
Preserve any relevant video evidence, as it is often crucial for establishing liability.
