When bus passengers suffer injuries onboard a bus, they can pursue compensation as long as they can make a case that another party’s negligence caused the accident. If your injury resulted from a collision with another vehicle or a fixed object, unsafe driving behaviors on the part of the bus driver, or falls onboard the bus due to preventable safety hazards, you may be able to sue the bus driver, the bus company, or another at-fault entity.
Passengers aren’t the only ones at risk of being hurt in a bus accident. Our bus accident attorneys in Philly also assist drivers who were struck by buses of all kinds, including SEPTA buses. You can still pursue a claim if you are injured because of someone else’s negligence in a crash with a public bus, although you may face the additional challenges posed by government immunity laws.
School bus drivers who violate traffic safety laws and hit other vehicles can be held liable for the accidents they cause. So can their employers, which may include public school districts, private school districts, charter schools, and private companies. If you suffered injuries in a crash with a school bus, our attorneys will need to identify all parties that could potentially be held liable for these losses.
All parties whose negligence contributed to your accident could potentially be held liable for your injuries. That’s why it’s so important to thoroughly investigate the incident and identify all potential defendants. Our bus accident attorneys in Philadelphia, PA, have a history of relentlessly pursuing compensation from all liable parties, which may include the bus driver, the bus company or government entity that operates the bus, other motorists, manufacturers of defective vehicle components, and entities responsible for maintaining the road.
Serious bus accident injuries can lead to significant payouts, especially when these cases involve multiple defendants and potentially commercial auto insurance policies. We focus on securing compensation that covers your medical and rehabilitation costs, income loss, and other economic as well as non-economic losses as fully as possible. Our firm has recovered high-value payouts for our clients, including a $1.65 million settlement for a client whose injuries left him needing 24-hour care.
