As of the year ending June 2024, there were 1,607 fatalities reported in road collisions across Great Britain. The frequency of these accidents depends on various factors, including road conditions, weather, driver behaviour, and the type of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, answered.

You may be eligible if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. It’s essential to demonstrate that the other party was at fault and that their actions directly caused your injury. Consulting a solicitor can help assess your case’s eligibility.

You have three years from the date of the accident – or three years from the date of discovering the accident – to bring a personal injury claim. Those aged under 18 have until their 21st birthday to bring a claim. Despite this limit, acting promptly gives a better chance of success.

You can claim compensation for both physical and psychological injuries resulting from a bus accident. Common injuries include whiplash, head injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, and emotional distress such as anxiety or PTSD.

The amount of compensation varies based on the severity and impact of your injuries, medical expenses, lost earnings, and other related costs. A solicitor can provide an estimate based on similar cases and guidelines.

“No-win, no-fee” means you won’t pay us anything unless we win your case.

There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t owe us a penny. If we win, our fees will be taken from the compensation we recover for you — and we’ll explain all of this clearly before you sign anything.

It’s a simple promise: if you don’t win, you don’t pay.

Key evidence includes medical records, accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, CCTV footage, and any other documentation that supports your claim. The more evidence you can provide, the greater your chance of success.
