Serious Injuries Can Result From Bus Accidents
While buses are a generally safe transportation option, accidents with injuries can occur while the vehicle is moving or while passengers are boarding or exiting. An accident is not always the bus driver’s fault, such as when an intoxicated private passenger vehicle operator crashed into a school bus filled with band members while allegedly driving while intoxicated.
Regardless of the nature of the accident, the injuries can be severe and have a debilitating impact on the victims. A typical example is a traumatic brain injury resulting from a blow to the head. Bus passengers can also experience spinal cord injuries, broken bones, lacerations, whiplash, and internal injuries.
Your Austin bus accident lawyer can pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other circumstances that negatively impact your quality of life.
Understanding Bus Accident Liability and Legal Rights for Victims
At Thomas J. Henry Law, our lawyers have experience successfully representing injured parties in school, municipal, and recreational bus accidents. From a liability perspective, we recognize the role that bus drivers, service providers, manufacturers, and municipalities can play in these accidents.
For example, negligence can occur when a bus driver speeds or drives while intoxicated. The bus services provider could be liable if the failure to maintain its vehicles contributes to an accident. Additionally, school districts, municipalities, and third-party drivers could be liable parties.
Your lawyer can investigate the cause of the accident to determine liability and initiate the appropriate legal action. This step can include negotiating a financial settlement with the negligent party’s insurance company or filing an Austin bus accident lawsuit to recover damages.
