Train Accident Claims

From time to time serious rail accidents occur, and train and tram operators can be proven to be negligent through train derailment or malfunction and accidents can also occur at train crossings and at train stations. When these accidents occur, detailed public enquiries will follow and evidence is called from witnesses to the accident as well as surviving passengers and technical experts in the field.

In recent years, trams have returned to a number of cities up and down the country and this often brings the trams into close contact with pedestrians, vehicles and other road users in city centres. Accidents and injuries can result from this close contact. 

Internal (and external) safety procedures must be adhered to at all times by train and tram operators and passenger safety is paramount. Members of staff must be appropriately trained and train stations must be kept free from slipping or tripping hazards.

Train Accident Compensation

If you are looking to claim compensation, it is important to retain proof of travel and therefore respective claimants should keep hold of their tickets or travel pass as the train operating company will insist on proof that you were onboard at the time of the accident.
