Get startedThe amount you can claim depends on the circumstances and may involve multiple claims.
| Public transport injury claim types: | |
|---|---|
| A CTP claim | This is a claim against the CTP insurer of the at-fault vehicle if you’ve been in a road accident on a bus. Depending on the extent of your injuries you may be entitled to a range of personal injuries benefits and lumps sums. |
| A workers compensation claim | if you were travelling in the course of your employment, you may be able to claim workers compensation. And if the accident was the result of negligence by another party, your claim may involve a damages lump sum claim. |
| A public liability claim | This is a claim against the public liability insurer of the relevant transport authority. For example, if you were injured at a train station due to faulty facilities or a slip hazard. |
| A TPD claim | This is a claim for lump sum, generally made through your super fund. If you’re unable to work after your accident, a TPD lump sum could be your lifeline, and these lump sums can be substantial. |

Here’s how our public transport injury lawyers can get more compensation for you:
Thoroughly assess your injuries and investigate the circumstances of your accident.
Identify each and every claim you’re entitled to make, including any lump sums you’re entitled to.
Manage your claim from start to finish, backed by our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee. We cover all the costs to run your claim, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
A no win no fee lawyer offers to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
Most people who make a personal injury claim use a specialist personal injury lawyer to make sure their case is thoroughly prepared and give themselves the best chance of success. It’s important to understand that when you make a personal injury claim it’s likely your compensation will be paid by an insurer, and the insurer will be looking for ways to minimise your payment. So having the best personal injury lawyers on your side puts you on a much more level playing field and is very likely to result in a much higher injury claim payout to you.
Once you’ve chosen a personal injury lawyer, there are essentially four parts to the claim process:
