A female pedestrian has recently been injured by a bus in Norwich. The accident happened in one of the main shopping streets.

It was the number 44 Sanders bus which was involved in the accident. The bus was heading in the direction of Tombland at the time.

Initially there were reports which were saying a male was running out of a shop and got hit by a bus, it later emerged it was a lady with a buggy who was knocked over. Ambulances were on the scene very quickly and took the pedestrian to hospital. It is understood she was the only person to suffer injuries.

The police attended and closed the road while investigations were being carried out. They are currently appealing for witnesses to come forward. There is CCTV in the area which will help to determine what happened.

It is not yet known if the injured pedestrian can, or will make a claim for injury compensation as a result of the bus accident.

In order to make a pedestrian claim for injuries, the pedestrian must not have been at fault for the accident.

A pensioner was injured on a bus as she was thrown with force as the bus took a sharp turn. This happened in Botley, Oxford as the stagecoach bus turned from West Way into Eynsham road.

The pensioner, Rae Taurff, hit her head on the pole in the bus causing a severe cut to her head. The bus accident resulted in the lady going to hospital and having eleven staples to her head.

There was an off duty nurse at hand who was offered paper towels, by the bus driver, to stem the bleeding. She refused to use these. The blood was pouring from the severe cut.

Other passengers were offering tissues to help, but these are not sterilised and could cause further medical problems.

Following the bus accident the driver stopped and dialled 999. An ambulance arrived and took Mrs Taurff from Witney to the John Radcliffe Hospital for treatment.

Mrs Taurff suffered a 10cm long deep cut to her head which is why staples were needed, she had to stay in hospital overnight.

The bus is not required to carry a first aid box, as this ruling means that only buses or trains which travel at least 50km are required to carry the first aid boxes.

The pensioner is trying to get buses to carry first aid boxes as there are many bus accidents which can leave passengers initially untreated. Mrs Taurff believes the cost of a first aid kit is minimal compared to the difference it could make to a passenger injured on a bus. The Oxford Bus Company spokesman Mr Phil Ashworth said “We have no plans to put first-aid kits on local buses. We believe it’s best for the passenger for us to get professional help as soon as possible” Stagecoach buses are said to be considering carrying first-aid kits.

In County Durham there has recently been a  horrific head on road traffic accident, where a bus and coach collided killing the bus driver and injuring four passengers. The accident happened on a small road which has a 30mph speed limit. The coach driver who suffered leg, head and chest injuries was airlifted to hospital in Newcastle. The passengers were described as walking wounded and were taken to North Durham hospital, except one who had a fractured hip and was taken to Middlesbrough by air ambulance.

It was said that the bus which operates a local service had passengers onboard, the coach was empty with the exception of the driver.

A workman was in the area and heard the bus and coach crash, went to see what he could do to help the injured drivers and passengers. The workmans clothes were covered in blood as he helped and waited for the emergency services to attend the scene.

A bus passenger claim has been made with us on a no win no fee basis by a lady who was getting married a couple of weeks after the bus and car accident happened. This has affected her both physically and mentally and has overshadowed the wedding plans.

There were two friends on the bus when a car in front of the bus drove out of a turning causing the bus to hit it with force. The passengers were thrown violently out of their seats and this sudden collision resulted in injuries to the passengers.

The police attended the scene and the bus and car driver handed their details including statements to the police. Details of the injured passengers were given to the bus driver and company.

The bride-to-be passenger, went to hospital and was diagnosed with back and whiplash injuries. These injuries have affected her shopping days prior to her wedding as she is in a lot of pain and is concerned about the actual day and night being ruined by her discomfort.

A bus passenger claim for compensation is being made against the driver of the car as the bus driver had no time to avoid the car, the bus was not driving too fast.

A bus & car collision has recently been the cause of injuries to passengers who then wanted to make accident claims through the Accident Advice Bureau for their non fault passenger accident.

Friends were travelling on a bus, they were sitting and chatting when a car suddenly pulled out in front of the bus and stopped in the bus lane. The bus driver had no option but to hit the car in the side. This caused the passengers on the bus to be thrown as the bus stopped suddenly.

The passengers felt some pain initially following the bus and car collision. The bus driver took details of the passengers and the police attended. The police took details of both the bus and car driver.

The following day, two of the bus passengers felt the pain more severely and went to hospital who diagnosed whiplash injuries as well as back and rib injuries.
