Understanding Bus Accident Claims
Bus accidents can cause devastating injuries, often involving multiple victims and complex liability issues. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver, you may be entitled to compensation if negligence played a role.
Key Considerations in Bus Accident Claims:
Type of Bus Involved
Liability and regulations vary between public transit, school buses, and private charters.
Liability Factors
Determining whether the driver, bus company, or another entity is at fault.
Injury Severity
Serious injuries may require medical records, expert testimony, and additional documentation.
Insurance Coverage
Public transit and private bus companies often have different insurance policies with varying coverage limits.
State Laws
Filing deadlines (statutes of limitations) and local regulations affect the process.
Understanding The Risks
What Causes Most Bus Accidents?
Bus accidents can occur due to various preventable factors.
Driver Negligence
Fatigue, distraction, or impaired driving by the bus operator increases the risk of accidents.
Mechanical Failures
Poor maintenance of critical components such as brakes, tires, or engines can lead to accidents.
Weather Conditions
Rain, snow, or reduced visibility can contribute to collisions or loss of control.
Road Hazards
Potholes, construction zones, or debris can create dangerous conditions for large vehicles like buses.
