Truck & Bus Accident Injury Lawyers in Perth
Were You Injured by a Bus or Truck Accident?
Accidents involving buses and trucks can be severe due to the size and weight of these vehicles. If you or a loved one were injured in such an accident, you might face a long road to recovery and you may struggle to understand your legal rights and options.
According to data published by the Australian Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications and the Arts (DITRDCA), hundreds of bus and truck occupants are hospitalised with injuries annually across Australia. Of those people, 20-30 per cent suffered high-threatening and life-threatening injuries.

Truck Accident Injuries and Compensation
Around fifty per cent of multi-vehicle truck collisions involve vehicles travelling in opposite directions, resulting in devastating head-on accidents that can leave occupants with severe injuries. Common truck occupant injuries include:
- Whiplash
- Head trauma
- Neck and spine damage
- Fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Burns
Severe injuries and trauma can also cause chronic pain and PTSD in truck accident victims. These long-lasting health problems can impact the general enjoyment of life, the ability to work and support a family, and the future ability to drive a vehicle.
Fortunately, there is compensation and support available for truck and bus related injury claims. At CLP Legal, we have extensive experience handling claims related to truck injuries.

Helping You with Bus Related Injury Claims
No one expects to be injured while travelling on a bus, whether on public transport or a charter bus. However, passengers and drivers can be hurt in bus-related accidents, and they may need hospitalisation.
Bus trauma can occur in several ways, and occupants may be injured while:
- Falling while boarding or exiting the vehicle
- Tripping while walking down the length of the vehicle
- Being thrown from the seat during hard turns or braking
- Collision with another vehicle or multiple vehicles
- Bus rollover or swerving accident
