Common Bus Accident Injuries

Whether the crash involved a school bus or commuter bus, serious injuries can occur. Any other motorists involved in the bus accident can suffer the most catastrophic of injuries, however. In such cases, much of the aftermath is not revealed until later on when injuries rise to the surface. When the occupants of a bus are injured, the passengers can suffer all types of injuries, ranging from bruises to serious head or neck injuries.

Pursuing Compensation in a Bus Accident Case

You will need to file a claim for compensation following the bus accident. This can be a complex and lengthy process, but our legal team can stay by your side throughout the process. You will first need to know the cause of the accident to know who to hold liable. You can file a claim for the negligence of one of the employees or the company as a whole.

Examples of negligence of the bus company:

• Poorly maintained equipment
• Insufficient safety precautions
• Mechanical failure

Examples of driver negligence:

• Bus crashing into another vehicle
• Reckless driving
• Speeding

In many cases, the case will still be brought against the company as a whole, even if it is attributed to driver negligence.
