Transport disaster compensation claims
Transport disaster solicitors
When a transport disaster (such as a plane crash, coach crash, boat disaster, train crash etc.) or accident occurs there may be several possible options for claiming compensation. The injured or bereaved often take action as a group, placing a collective pressure on those responsible to compensate victims adequately.
We’ll guide and support you through the process and can manage group actions too, where several people have been injured.
If you believe you may have a multi-party claim, visit our group actions section here.

About transport disaster compensation claims
As distance becomes less of a barrier to work and leisure, our roads, rails, seas and skies are becoming busier. Travel disasters are rare, and the likelihood of a coach crash or plane crash is slim, but the memories stay with us. They may have happened years ago, but the Marchioness, Zeebrugge Ferry and the Reading and Paddington Rail accidents are tragedies that people still recall. We sought compensation for victims following all of those events.
Where a disaster occurs at sea or in the air, it may be subject to international conventions which are often complex, but we can guide you through these and will, wherever it occurred, seek to ensure that you are compensated fairly.
Whether you were injured in a major transport disaster, or a small transport accident, our specialist transport disaster solicitors can help.
