Tube Station Compensation Claim Types

There are 5 tube systems across the UK. There are two main types of accidents involving tube systems:

• Accidents that happen within a station, such as slips and falls and
• Accidents of an often-disastrous nature like tube crashes.

Tube Station Injuries

Types of injuries sustained could include:

• Head and brain injuries
• Fatal injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Soft tissue damage
• Psychological injury

With the exception of children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident initially occurred.

Before a child turns eighteen years old it is possible to make a claim on their behalf at any time. The law stipulates that after the age of eighteen they only have three years in which to make a claim. If your child sustained an injury as a minor (under the age of 18), the claim must be submitted within 3 years of their 18th birthday.

More serious accidents can result in catastrophic if not fatal injuries. In these cases, it is essential that you speak to a specialist solicitor, who has experience in dealing with claims of this nature.
