If you have been injured while using public transport, you may be eligible for compensation from TAC. Your injuries do not have to be severe to get compensation – you may be eligible for lost wages or medical expenses, which might not amount to a lot, but it all adds up. Claims are easy to make and unless you need a lawyer (advisable for complex or denied cases – contact Vanessa Ash) don’t cost anything.

If you have been injured on public transport, report the incident to the operator and get the phone numbers of any witnesses. Get yourself medical treatment, and report the incident to the police if not done already. Call TAC to report the accident and your injuries, which will result in you being sent a claim form. You must fill this out within a year. Seek legal advice regarding maximising your claims, since the minimum may not be your full entitlement – Vanessa Ash can help.

Don’t leave your story to chance.
