    What is a Train Accident Claim?

    A train accident claim is a legal claim for compensation arising from injuries or losses suffered because of negligence involving a train, railway station or railway infrastructure.

    Where a railway operator or responsible authority fails to provide a reasonably safe environment, injured passengers or members of the public may have the right to pursue compensation for the damages they have suffered.

    Depending on your circumstances, compensation may include:

    • Medical and hospital expenses
    • Rehabilitation costs
    • Past and future loss of income
    • Future medical treatment
    • Pain and suffering where applicable
    • Funeral expenses
    • Loss of financial support for dependants

    Every claim is unique and depends on the specific facts surrounding the accident.
