Common Injuries Sustained in Bus Accidents

If you’ve ever been on a school bus or used public transportation, you’ve probably noticed that most buses do not have seatbelts or safety features found in passenger vehicles. The combination of the lack of restraints plus the sheer weight and size of buses often causes passengers to suffer serious injuries. These injuries include, but are not limited to:

When you are dealing with any of the above injuries, you will likely feel overwhelmed by pain, loss of income, and medical bills. Filing a personal injury claim can help you recover economic damages and peace of mind.

Holding All Parties Responsible

Bus accident in Mobile AL

Due to the nature of bus transportation, multiple parties can be held liable for your losses. Unlike car accidents, which are primarily caused by driver error, bus accidents can be caused by the negligence of the bus company. If the vehicle was not properly maintained or the driver was fatigued due to overscheduling, multiple parties can share responsibility.

Bus accidents are most frequently caused by:

  • Violation of service requirements
  • Faulty equipment
  • Distracted driving (sometimes caused by unruly passengers)
  • Drowsy driving
  • Aggressive driving (A.K.A. road rage)
  • Driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol
  • Speeding

In some cases, the accident can be caused by a driver outside of the bus. When this happens, the driver of the other vehicle can be held responsible. Still, fault in accidents is usually determined by a percentage of liability, so you may be able to hold both the bus driver or transportation company AND the driver of the car partially accountable.
