BUS ACCIDENTS

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident you have many rights under the law. You have the right to recover for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, property damage, lost wages and for any disability suffered because of the accident.

These rights do not apply to just passengers injured in a bus accident but to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.

Since the majority of buses are owned by cities or government entities special rules apply handling personal injury claims. In bus accident cases, time is of the essence in hiring an attorney. There are specific requirements of formal notice that must be given to the government entity. In addition their may be video surveillance tapes or black boxes that should be obtained immediately to prevent their destruction.
