    I was in a public transport accident in Queensland…

    I was in a public transport accident in Queensland…

    As a public transport passenger you have very little to no control of the way a vehicle is operated and how the driver responds to the surrounding circumstances. Being injured as a passenger in a public transport accident can feel so unfair and out of your control.

    If you were injured in a public transport accident you are able to seek compensation for any injuries and associated losses that you sustained.

    Examples of how people might be injured in a public transport accident are:

    • You were in a ride-share, taxi or uber and the driver was involved in an accident.
    • You were a passenger on a bus involved in an accident or sustained an injury from the way the bus was being driven, for example, sudden stopping.
    • You were a passenger on a train involved in an accident or driven carelessly.
    • You were a passenger on a ferry and injured in an accident or by the way the ferry was operated
    • You were a passenger on an airplane and were injured in an accident or by the operation of the plane.

    Injuries sustained as a public transport passenger can vary from minor to catastrophic and can have lifelong consequences. We recommend working with a lawyer through this uncertain time to access rehabilitation and the compensation you deserve.
