Attorneys for Bus Accident-Related Injuries

Attorneys for Bus Accident-Related Injuries
Thousands of bus accidents occur every single year in the U.S., which can result in serious injuries for large numbers of passengers. These injuries can lead to significant medical bills, mental distress, loss of wages, and other damages. In many cases following a bus crash, insurance companies representing the bus involved contact the victims and try to get them to settle right away. These settlements often don’t get victims the payout they truly deserve. That’s why it’s important after an accident to contact a qualified bus accident attorney right away.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents
A few of the most frequent causes of bus collisions and car accidents include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Motorist error
- Bicyclist or pedestrian inattention
- Failure to maintain
- Another driver’s negligence
- Mechanical failures
- Inadequate driver training from the bus company
- Failure to repair traffic signals
- Hazardous road conditions
- Hazardous weather conditions
Depending on the specific cause of a bus crash or truck accident, it may be possible that multiple parties are liable for a victim’s injuries.
Types of Bus Accident Injuries
Many buses do not provide the same level of protection for passengers that they would otherwise have in traditional passenger vehicles. The lack of airbags or seat belts, for example, can mean that some passengers are more likely to sustain catastrophic injuries.
What also makes these types of accidents particularly dangerous is that injuries may not always present themselves right away; seemingly minor collisions can result in severe injuries that require medical attention.
Common injuries seen in bus crashes or similar accidents, like train accidents, include, but are not limited to:
- Amputations
- Broken bones/fractures
- Burn injuries
- Disfigurement
- Herniated discs
- Internal organ damage
- Neck injuries
- Paralysis
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
What to Do After a Bus Accident
If a bus driver caused you or a loved one significant harm—or if your family member was killed in an accident—it’s in your best interest to do the following:
- Attempt to take pictures of the scene, if it is safe to do so.
- Document all bills.
- Keep all receipts for costs relating to injuries.
- Avoid making any statement to the bus company and do not send text messages or make social media posts about the accident until you have retained a personal injury attorney.
- Contact an experienced bus accident attorney like Susan E. Loggans to take legal action and hold all liable parties accountable in your personal injury case.
- Don’t procrastinate—depending on the nature of the accident, your claims may be subject to a statute of limitations.
