What Is a Bus Accident Claim?

A bus accident claim is a type of personal injury claim made when a bus causes an accident that results in injuries. This may involve:

  • Collisions with other vehicles
  • Sudden braking or swerving leading to passenger injuries
  • Falls or trips inside the bus due to unsafe conditions
  • Pedestrians hit by a bus
  • Accidents caused by poorly maintained bus stops or roadside hazards

If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in Ireland who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in Ireland undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
