Our personal injury team are
experts in rail accident claims. Our
lawyers have successfully pursued many personal injury claims as a result of train
crashes including the train accidents at Clapham, Southall,
Ladbroke Grove and Potters Bar (read the latest BBC
news on the Potters Bar inquest here).
Personal Injury Claims
We recognise that for the survivors of such accidents the
injuries will be both physical and psychological. We know that
both are extremely important and we can help to make sure that you
are getting the proper care. We have a team of specialist
medico-legal experts who are well versed in dealing with the
injuries that can follow such accidents.
The personal injury compensation claim
made after a rail accident will depend on the intensity of the
accident and the severity of the injuries that result. Injuries can
include broken bones, brain and head
injuries and spinal injuries, all
of which can often have a life-altering affect.
We act on a 'no win, no fee' basis
and will ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation
for your:
- injuries
- any financial losses, such as a loss of income
- treatment
- rehabilitation
- ongoing care
Fatal Claims
Train accidents can have disastrous outcomes, and there are
often fatalities. We have represented the families of those who
have died in a train accident. The family of the deceased
can sue for emotional and financial suffering caused by the death
of a loved one. Emotional suffering can include trauma and
shock.
You can also sue for any financial losses that have resulted
from the death of their loved one. For example, if the person
killed is the sole employed member of the household, you can claim
compensation for the lost earnings.
