Accidents Involving Passingers on Public and Private Transport

Passengers in any form of vehicle rely upon the skill and expertise of their driver, and are owed a duty of care by all other vehicle users.

Whatever form of transport you might be using, a car,  a taxi, a bus, a coach, a train, a tram, a plane, a ferry or a boat you are likely to be entitled to compensation because passengers are generally an innocent party, because they have no control over the vehicle they were travelling in.   Passengers will usually be able to bring a successful claim for personal injury compensation or accident compensation as it is often known.   We can deal with accidents in Rochdale and further afield.

Passengers can seldom do anything to prevent an accident and in these circumstances liability will generally attach either to the driver of the vehicle in which you are travelling, or to the driver of another vehicle which might be involved in the accident.

Passengers in vehicles which are involved in an accident will not generally be found to be guilty of contributory negligence although failure to wear a seat belt can result in a reduction of damages in road traffic accidents involving motor cars.
