Injuries Sustained in Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can cause a wide range of serious injuries, many of which have long-term or permanent effects. Common injuries include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): These occur when the head is struck or violently jolted. Even mild TBIs like concussions can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, trouble focusing, and mood changes. More severe cases may result in cognitive impairment or a persistent vegetative state requiring lifelong care.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord may cause numbness, muscle weakness, or partial paralysis. In the most severe cases, complete spinal cord injury can lead to full paralysis below the point of impact.
  • Bone Fractures: Broken bones are common in bus crashes and may affect passengers, pedestrians, or occupants of other vehicles. These injuries often require extended recovery time and, in some cases, surgical intervention.
  • Burns: Fires resulting from bus collisions can cause significant burn injuries. Victims may need treatment in specialized burn centers, including procedures like skin grafts, and often face permanent scarring or disfigurement.

Determining Fault in a Bus Accident

Establishing who is responsible is a critical part of any bus accident claim. Your attorney will investigate the crash, gather evidence, and identify all liable parties. In many cases, multiple parties may share responsibility, each contributing to the total damages owed.

Potentially liable parties in a bus accident may include:

  • The Bus Driver: If the driver was distracted, speeding, or otherwise negligent, they may be held personally responsible for the crash.
  • The Bus Company or Employer: A transportation company may be liable if it failed to properly train drivers, conduct background checks, or maintain its vehicles.
  • Bus Passengers: Passengers who interfere with the driver or violate the law may contribute to an accident and share in the liability.
  • Other Drivers: Accidents may occur when other motorists drive recklessly around buses—for example, cutting them off, speeding past, or ignoring right-of-way laws.
  • Pedestrians or Cyclists: If someone enters the roadway or crosswalk without the right of way, they may be held partially or fully responsible for a resulting collision.
  • Government Entities: Poor road maintenance, missing signage, or dangerous infrastructure may make a city or local government partially liable. These cases are more complex but necessary when unsafe public conditions contribute to a crash.
