You may be compensated if you’ve been injured in a bus or coach accident. Our experienced solicitors specialise in bus accident claims, and have successfully helped many road traffic accident victims get the compensation they deserve.
Whether you’ve suffered minor injuries like whiplash or more serious harm, we’ll guide you through the claims process and work tirelessly to negotiate fair compensation for recovery costs, lost earnings, and future needs.
Bus and coach accidents, while less frequent than those involving other vehicles, still pose significant risks to passengers and other road users. 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.
If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to claim compensation for:
Compensation for treatment, rehabilitation, and any ongoing medical costs.
If you’ve had to take time off work due to your injuries, you can claim for lost wages.
Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
If personal property (e.g., clothing, bags) was damaged in the accident, you can claim for repairs or replacement.
If your injuries impact your ability to work or live independently in the long term, you may be entitled to claim for future financial losses.
If your injuries require you to receive personal care or assistance, you can claim these additional costs.
We understand how overwhelming things can feel. Our team will guide you through each step of the claims process with clarity and care.

We’ve secured compensation for countless injured cyclists.
Clear, compassionate advice and support every step of the way.
If you have been injured as a passenger in a bus or coach accident, or if you were involved in an accident as a pedestrian, cyclist, or driver, you may be eligible for compensation. It’s essential to gather evidence, such as your bus ticket and witness details, and report the incident to the relevant authorities.
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.
In the UK, you typically have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, it’s advisable to start the process as soon as possible to gather evidence and give your solicitor time to build a strong case.
The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and other factors. Our solicitors will assess your case and provide an estimate of the compensation you may be entitled to.
You can begin by contacting our expert team at CEL Solicitors. We will assess the details of your case, guide you on the evidence you need to gather, and explain the next steps. We offer a free consultation to discuss your potential claim.
No, with a No-Win No-Fee agreement, you won’t pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. This means there’s no financial risk to you, as you only pay legal costs if your claim is successful.
To strengthen your claim, you’ll need to provide evidence such as your bus ticket, witness statements, photos of the scene or injuries, medical records, and a police report if applicable. Our solicitors will help you gather all the necessary documentation.
