Injured by Bus Accident?

If you or a loved one have been injured in a bus accident, you may want to speak with an attorney who is experienced in handling such claims.

Buses are a convenient and efficient means of transportation for thousands of people. Everyday people travel on over 775,000 schools buses, passenger buses, charted buses and shuttles. Bus accidents tend to be more complicated than car accidents because there are multiple parties involved. As a passenger, pedestrian or other driver, you may have a claim against many different people. Potentially responsibility parties for bus accidents include the bus driver, school district, city or municipality, local government and mass transit system. Bus accidents can occur for many reasons, the most common being:

• Dangerous roads
• Reckless and unsafe driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Improper maintenance
• Driver negligence
• Speeding
• Driver inexperience

Bus accidents can be particularly traumatic because of the lack of seatbelts and other safety devices on buses when compared to other vehicles. In addition, the large number of occupants on buses, increases the amount of injuries whenever an accident occurs. Injuries resulting from bus accidents can include:

• Head Trauma
• Fractured or broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Permanent disability
  Death
