Bus Accidents FAQs

What Should I Do Immediately After a Bus Accident?

After a bus accident, prioritize your safety and seek medical attention for any injuries. If possible, document the accident by taking photos, gathering witness information, and reporting the incident to the bus driver or authorities. Contact an injury lawyer to discuss your legal options as soon as possible.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Bus Accident?

Liability in a bus accident can be complex, as multiple parties may be responsible. This could include the bus driver, the bus company, the transit authority, other drivers involved, or even manufacturers if mechanical failure contributed to the accident. An injury lawyer can help determine who is at fault and hold them accountable.

Can I File a Claim If I Was a Passenger on the Bus?

Yes, as a bus passenger, you have the right to file a claim if you were injured in an accident. Regardless of who caused the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

What Types of Compensation Can I Receive for a Bus Accident Injury?

Victims of bus accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and any other expenses related to the accident. If the accident results in long-term or permanent injury, you may also seek compensation for future care needs.

Can I Still File a Claim If Weather Contributed to the Bus Accident?

Yes, even if hazardous weather conditions contributed to the accident, you may still be able to file a claim. Liability may rest with the bus driver, the bus company, or another party if they failed to account for the weather and drive safely. An injury lawyer can help determine whether negligence played a role.
