Tram accident compensation claim solicitors

What types of tram accidents do we cover?

The simple answer is: if you've been involved in a tram accident in the UK that wasn't your fault, we can help. The unique way in which the UK's eight tram networks operate in their respective towns and cities means that there are several different types of tram accident that can occur, all of which we cover.

Those include:

• Tram (on board) crash accidents: including collisions with other trams and other forms of transport, and derailing after a collision.
• Tram (on board) movement accidents: including sudden stops/jolts, speeding and travelling along uneven or defective tracks.
• Tram and car accidents (you're in a car hit by a tram).
• Tram and bike accidents (you're on a bike hit by a tram).
• Tram and pedestrian accidents (you're on foot and hit by a tram).
• Tram platform/line accidents: including falling onto the tracks and coming into contact with overhead wires.
• Accidents while working on a tramline: if you have worked on a tramline, as a driver, engineer or any other role, and have suffered an injury through your work, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

What are the most common injuries from tram accidents?

A tram crash injury could be as minor as a few cuts and bruises. It could be as severe as a life-altering condition, or even death. Whatever has happened, whatever your injuries, we're here to help you to make a train accident claim if your injury wasn't your fault.

Some common types of tram crash/accident injuries include:

• Slips, trips and falls.
• Whiplash.
• Head injuries.
• Crushing injuries.
• Electrocution.

What causes of tram accident injuries can lead to a claim?

Whether you're aboard a tram, near a tramline or working for a tram company, the tram operator has a duty of care to keep you as safe as it reasonably can.

If an operator failed in its duty of care to you, and that failure led to your injury, that is an act of negligence on the part of the operator, which means that you have grounds for a claim.

Common types of negligence that can cause tram accidents include:

• Driver error.
• Inadequate training of employees (which can lead to both civilian and employee injury).
• Mechanical or structural faults with the tram.
• Improper maintenance leading to faulty tramlines, vehicles, stations or equipment.

Why should I make a claim for tram accident compensation?

The main reason why you should make a claim for train accident compensation is that you deserve recompense for the pain and distress that you've suffered. Whether it's a minor fall or a severe tram crash injury, the implications of a tram accident can take a huge physical, mental and financial toll − especially if the accident wasn't your fault.

While money can't solve every problem or trauma, it can help with your recovery and alleviate some of the stress associated with the aftermath − be it a loss of income or changes that you've had to make around the home to accommodate for your injury.

Furthermore, your claim will help hold responsible those who practice negligible behaviours and work to prevent similar incidents in the future.

How much could my tram accident claim be worth?

There's no set answer to that question. Your train accident compensation claim will be considered on its own merit, taking into account the nature of your injury and the circumstances around it, as well as factors like the potential for loss of earnings or any other long-term consequences.

The compensation calculator below offers insight into estimated pay out brackets for different types of injury you may suffer through a tram accident. Estimates are based on the Judicial College Guidelines, as set out by the Ministry of Justice.
