If you are injured while traveling by tram, bus, subway, or train, special rules apply to your personal injury claim. The transport company is almost always liable for your injury, unless it can prove that the accident was truly unavoidable.
As a passenger, you have paid for safe transport from A to B. If this is not achieved and you are injured, the carrier is in principle liable. They can only escape this liability by proving that the accident was completely unavoidable. That is a high threshold.
Did the driver make a mistake? Or was there a fault with the vehicle? If so, liability remains. Please note: your legal claim expires three years after the accident.
We regularly help victims of public transport accidents to successfully obtain fair compensation. Have you suffered an injury during your journey or do you have questions about your situation? Feel free to contact one of our specialized traffic accident and personal injury lawyers.
