Buses are a very common mode of transport in the UK and are used by thousands of members of the public each day. They are a convenient and environmentally friendly way to get about, but travelling by bus does carry a certain element of risk. Passengers on buses are allowed to stand and seatbelts are not usually provided, meaning that injuries can be sustained as a result of people being thrown around the bus.
If you have been injured on a bus, you may be able to claim compensation from either the bus company, the person responsible for the road traffic accident or the council/authority responsible for maintenance of the road. For more information or to discuss making a bus accident compensation claim, call Farleys on 0125 460 6090, or send us an email.

No Win No Fee Bus Accident Claims
Bus operators in the UK owe a duty of care to their passengers. This means that they have a responsibility to ensure passengers’ safety from the moment they step on the bus to the moment they alight.
There are three common causes of accidents resulting in injury to passengers:
- The bus driver failing to take proper care e.g.
- Collision with another vehicle
- Problems with the road
