What kinds of injuries can you claim compensation for?
When it comes to bus accident compensation consider compensable bus accident injuries, we often think of injury claims that involve pedestrians, cyclists or other vehicles. Yet bus passengers are not immune to injuries caused during major or minor incidents.
Bus and coach accidents are commonly caused when the driver or operator of the vehicle moves unexpectedly or brakes suddenly, causing people to fall from seats, in overcrowded aisles or down entry/exit stairs.
Common bus accident injuries can include:
- Head and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
Lacerations and cuts - Internal injuries
Whatever the severity of your injury, and regardless of whether you were a bus passenger or a pedestrian, cyclist or in a traffic accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
If you have been injured in a bus or through a bus-related road accident then take the 30-second claim check at the top of the page. Or use our quick bus accident compensation calculator to better understand your claim range.
What situations commonly entitle people to claim accident compensation?
While no two accidents are ever the same, there are commonalities between circumstances that lead to a bus accident. They are also indicators of whether your compensation claim would be favourable or not. These include:
- You’re suffering from an injury that is a direct result of when an accident occurred – and if your injuries have affected your ability to work, loss of earnings and your quality of life.
- Accidents that are the result of poor weather, poor visibility or poor road conditions.
- Negligent or dangerous driving on behalf of the bus driver or another motorist that influenced or caused the accident.
It’s important to note that in Queensland, all registered vehicles covered by the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme. CTP insurance covers an at-fault driver for personal injury claims, including buses.
That means if the bus driver or another person driving a vehicle who contributed to your personal injury claim was negligent, then you can claim compensation under the CTP scheme.
