Will I be successful in my claim as a passenger in a public transport accident?
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 in Queensland, you are able to seek compensation for any injuries and associated losses that you sustained.
While we can’t guarantee success without knowing the specific circumstances of your accident, prospects of a successful outcome for a passenger in a public transport accident in Queensland are very high. It would be very rare for a passenger to be the at fault party and be unsuccessful in a claim for compensation.
The issue of winning or losing any claim rests on liability, that means proving someone else is at fault and responsible for the accident. The person who caused the accident may be the driver of the vehicle you were travelling in, or the driver of another vehicle.
The person who caused the accident is the negligent party. The party at fault may have been careless, operated the vehicle carelessly, failed to stop, drove without due care and attention, the at fault party may even be unidentified, in the case of a hit and run.
