What causes public transport accident claims?
While taking public transport is usually a safe way to commute in Ireland, accidents can occur due to the driver’s fault, the transportation company’s misconduct, or the malfeasance of a third party. Such claims arise when a passenger, a bystander, or the operator of another vehicle gets injured in a public transport road accident.
What types of injuries can occur?
Steps to undertake when involved in a public transport accident:
Being involved in a public transport accident can be fatal and in this situation one should act according to these steps:
What should you do to make a claim?
Take pictures of any damage inflicted by the vehicles involved as quickly as practicable after the incident, if feasible.
Again, photographing any injuries or recording any facts such as the names of other people involved in the crash is beneficial if at all possible. These are all things to keep in mind when filing a claim for a transportation accident.
