The funeral of schoolgirl Natasha Paton who was killed on a school trip to Alton Towers will took place today. In a tragic coach crash accident, pupil passengers were also seriously injured as the organised childrens school coach trip ended in horror last week.

The school coach was driving in horrendous snow and icy weather conditions from Lanark Grammar School to Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire, for what was supposed to be a fantastic day out for the pupils. The coach driver lost control of the vehicle, it hit a bridge, then overturned landing in a river causing a fatality and severe injury to passengers.

Following the coach crash accident, Natasha’s parents said they were “devastated” by the death of their daughter.

A celebration of Natasha’s life took place at St Nicholas’s Parish Church in Lanark. As asked by the family, the mourners wore bright clothes to celebrate the teenagers short life.

A coach passenger accident claim can be made with our personal injury solicitors on a No Win No Fee basis and upon winning the claim, every penny awarded will be paid out to you.

A coach accident always has the added danger of multiple casualties, as often coaches are full of passengers either on holiday or enjoying a day trip out.

Coach drivers often have to travel long distances each day, but they are highly skilled and usually take great care in their job. Sometimes however, accidents do happen and coach passengers are injured in an accident.

Any coach passenger injured in an accident should inform the driver and the coach company. The injuries suffered need medical attention if a claim for compensation is to be made.

A coach passenger accident claim for compensation can be made up to three years from the date of the accident. Most coach passengers claim compensation sooner rather than later, this also helps the claim, as the information surrounding the accident is still fresh in the mind.

A coach accident claim for compensation may be because of a road accident or from faulty seating which the coach company should have noticed before the passengers were taken out.

Coach passengers are usually very safe in the hands of their coach driver and will enjoy their journey. During the winter when ice and snow are on the roads, it can make it very difficult for coach drivers especially if ‘black ice’ is on the roads which is not seen, it is often only when the coach slides and loses control that its presence is known.

Recently in a horrific accident, over forty people have been injured with two fatalities on an organised coach trip on its return from a christmas attraction near Penzance in Cornwall. The coach accident was likely to have been caused by severe weather conditions with ice on the road. The coach is said to have come off the road before overturning. Devon and Cornwall Police were involved assisting, one police car also slid on the ice colliding into the coach. Many of the the coach passengers were taken to Truro hospital by air ambulance.

With all the ice making the roads so dangerous, extreme care must be taken by all road users and pedestrians in order to avoid accidents and injuries. Local authorities organise the gritting of roads but not all roads are covered. Any accident on the roads involving coach passengers could result in a coach passenger accident claim being made. Through us coach passenger accident claims are handled on a No Win No Fee basis and 100% of the injury compensation is paid out on winning.

We, and our specialist personal injury claims solicitors have years of experience in assisting victims of road traffic accidents sucessfully claim the compensation they are entitled to.

A trip out on a coach is something many people look forward to, many others use them through necessity. When you step onto the coach you expect your journey to be safe and comfortable.

Every year people are injured on a coach and this often results in a coach passenger claim for compensation.

Any coach accident should be reported to the coach company and the details of the coach and driver recorded if possible. Any witnesses to the accident could be useful if a coach passenger claim is to be made.

To claim for being injured on a coach, there does not need to be a collision. There are times when injuries occur from such things as faulty seating.

In order to claim as a coach passenger, the injuries must be sufficient to require medical attention.

The claim for compensation must be made within three years of the accident happening. Should the injuries be to a child, the claim could be made up to their twenty first birthday, although the longer a claim is left, often the harder it is to obtain the information required.

Coach passenger claims through us are handled by traffic accident specialist solicitors who will ensure a No Win No Fee agreement is in place. You will not be asked for any money at any time and up on winning, 100% of the awarded compensation will be paid to you.

If you have been injured in a coach accident as a passenger or driver in a non fault accident, an injury claim for compensation may be possible with the Accident Advice Bureau.

Many accident claims for injured on a coach are made by people who have been going about their daily lives, when something for which they have no control happens, and at times with very serious consequences.

An accident on a coach claim for compensation can be made by passengers on a no win no fee basis. As a passenger in a coach the accident would not have been your fault and a claim could be against the coach driver and company or a third party depending on who was responsible for the accident.

The injuries suffered in the coach accident should be sufficient to need medical attention from the GP or hospital in order to make a claim for injuries.

To make a claim as a passenger on a coach or if you have any queries on how accident compensation claims work, please talk to our personal injury claims team.

We will appoint a specialist personal injury claims solicitor to work hard to win the accident compensation you deserve. Compensation claims for being injured in a coach are paid out 100% of what is awarded.
