公共交通事故索赔*

A public transport accident claim* is the legal process for getting compensation for the effects of an injury in an accident that was not your fault. 

Bus use in Dublin is up 10% on pre-pandemic levels, and public transport bus travel outside of Dublin is up 31%. With more people travelling on the Luas, train and bus accidents are becoming more frequent. 

An accident while travelling on public transport in Ireland can cause injury to the hands, legs, head, arms and internal organs. You may be off work for a time, need to make adaptions to the home and car and have the extra costs of medical appointments and physiotherapy added to your budget.

The public transport accident claim* can seek compensation to cover those extra costs due to an accident that was not wholly your fault.

PBN Litigation Solicitors can handle your public transport accident claim* for compensation.

Types of public transport accident claims* range from a sprained wrist after a slip on the wet floor of a bus to the head injury on the Luas to the cracked ribs in a fall off the intercity train.

An injury in a public transport accident that was not wholly your fault can impact your life, and you can claim for the effects today and in the future.

The Government introduced the Personal Injury Assessment Board, PIAB, to simplify and standardise personal injury claims* in Ireland. The PIAB 协助您、受害方以及有过错的一方，为您争取您可能应得的赔偿。. 

Your public transport accident injury is also a personal injury. You can use the Personal Injury Assessment Board when making a claim*, and your personal injury solicitor will advise you through the process.

A personal injury solicitor can be your representative with the PIAB. They will have the experience of working with the PIAB and can advise you on every aspect, from filling out forms to knowing what your public accident claim* may be worth.

PBN Litigation Solicitors can help form your case for the PIAB, and when we receive a medical report from your doctor, we may submit the compensation claim* to the PIAB.  

PIAB 将联系疏忽方及其保险公司。疏忽方有 90 天的时间向 PIAB 他们是否会同意 PIAB assessing the claim* or decline to permit the PIAB to evaluate the case.  

If they agree to permit the board to assess the public transport injury claim, the PIAB 有九个月的时间来这样做。 PIAB can extend this period by several months if they wish to do so.

If the PIAB accept your claim, they will agree on a level of compensation. When the negligent party does not accept the PIAB findings, you may need to go to court, but PBN Litigation Solicitors will be there for you.
