Bus and Public Transport Accidents

If you were injured on a bus or some other form of public transport including while on or getting off a Ferry or on a Train (including a tram or light rail vehicle), we can help you make a claim for any losses caused by your injuries. Our expert personal injury lawyers will advise you of your rights, identify the responsible insurer, and lodge a claim on your behalf.

If you were a passenger on a bus or coach and were injured in an accident, it is highly likely that you will be entitled to benefits and compensation. The most common type of bus accident is where a passenger falls after the bus stops suddenly. Sometimes this may be before you have had the chance to sit down or you could be thrown out of your seat. It may be the bus driver’s fault or someone else’s fault. You may have a claim if you were a passenger on public transport, or in a private vehicle for example on a coach holiday, bus tour or airport transfer.

If you are a bus or coach driver who has been injured while driving your work vehicle, you may have rights to benefits and compensation under both the compulsory third-party motor accident scheme and the workers compensation scheme. It is a complex area of law and you need the right people looking after you. Our specialist personal injury lawyers will assess your claim and advise you of your rights. Where you have a choice of claims, our compensation experts will explain the benefits of your options and which scheme would be best for you.

Truck Accidents

Every year about 60 people are killed in truck accidents and 3,500 people are injured. Trucks are often the largest motor vehicles using the road and they can cause enormous damage because of their size and weight.

The team at Stacks Goudkamp will guide you through the complicated compensation process, using our expertise and experience to secure entitlements for you.

Taxi and Uber Accidents

Recent statistics from the NSW Taxi Council suggests there are over 4,000 taxis in NSW making over 130 million trips a year. Uber and other ride share platforms are becoming more and more popular so it is not surprising that drivers and passengers in Taxis or Ubers can be injured in accidents.
If you were the driver of the Taxi or Uber then you may have rights under the motor accident scheme or the workers compensation scheme (or both) and you need a lawyer who can help you sort that out.
If you were the passenger of the Taxi or Uber then you need to make a claim against the CTP insurer of the at fault vehicle which may be the Taxi or Uber or some other vehicle. Our expert motor accident compensation lawyers can help you make the right clam against the right insurer.
