What to do if you are injured on public transport?

If you are injured while using a train, tram or bus, there are a few things that you should know. First, make sure that you seek medical attention. The next best step is to report the incident to both the police, TAC and appropriate operator of the service you were injured on. Second, you should ask for the details of any witnesses of the accident. Once these things have been done. You should lodge a claim with TAC within 12 months of sustaining your injury, however have 6 years to make a common law claim.
