Everyday, almost half of the population travels on the public transport system to commute to various places. Usually travelling by Tram is a cheap, efficient and generally reliable mode of transport. However with over 12 million users of the 6 Tram systems located around the UK, accidents will often occur.

As nothing is certain, there are many times when accidents on public transport occur and the passengers are left to pay for the consequences through injuries and deteriorated health.

Just because you are a passenger and not in control of the functions of the tram, does not mean that you have no rights if you suffer an accident. Many people who are injured after being involved in an accident on a Tram do not realise that they are able to make a personal injury compensation claim.

Potential Causes Of Tram Accidents

• Platform overcrowding
• Alighting from/or getting onto the Tram
• Faulty tracks
• Negligent driving
• Tram collision
• Vehicle failure

What To Do After A Tram Accident

• Inform the driver or any other official such as an inspector of the accident as soon as possible.
• Make a note of the name and number of that person and ensure that they note your name, address and injuries.
• Keep your ticket - Although there is a high probability of CCTV on the vehicle, you may still need to establish that you were a passenger. You can do this by providing your ticket or receipt for that journey.
• Get medical advice for your injuries from a hospital or your GP. Keeping a diary of your pain and medication is recommended.
• Collect any names and addresses from witnesses who saw the accident take place

Whatever the cause of the tram accident, these accidents have the potential of causing significant injuries and damages to people as well as to properties.
