Who Can Be Injured in a Bus Accident?
Bus accidents can affect a wide range of individuals:
- Passengers on public or private buses
- Pedestrians or bicyclists struck by a bus
- Occupants of other vehicles hit by a bus
- Schoolchildren on school buses
- Bus drivers or employees
Whether the accident involved a public transit system, school bus, charter service, or private shuttle, you may have the right to pursue compensation if negligence played a role.
Common Causes of Bus Accidents
Bus crashes often result from preventable conditions such as:
- Distracted or fatigued driving
- Mechanical failures or poor maintenance
- Inadequate driver training or supervision
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Unsafe road conditions
- Poor weather combined with driver error
Liability may fall on a transit agency, private operator, school district, or third-party contractor—making legal action more complex than a typical car accident.
Typical Injuries in Bus Crashes
Due to the size and weight of buses, even a minor collision can result in major trauma, including:
- Head and brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage
- Fractures and broken bones
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Psychological trauma, especially for children
Injuries may require emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and time away from work.
Your Right to Compensation After a Bus Accident
If someone else’s negligence caused the accident, you may be able to file a personal injury claim for:
- Medical expenses (past and ongoing)
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation costs
- Property damage (if you were driving another vehicle)
However, claims involving public buses or school districts often have special rules, including shorter filing deadlines and notice requirements.
The Need for Legal Funding
Bus accident claims can take months—or even years—to resolve, especially when government entities are involved. Victims often face:
- High medical bills
