Bus Accidents

Thousands of people including school children are injured each year in bus accidents, which also result in a number of wrongful deaths. Bus accident victims may be the bus passenger, a driver or passenger in another vehicle involved in the accident or a pedestrian.

These accidents may happen as a result of negligence, a defective product, faulty maintenance, inadequate safety measures, unsafe driving conditions and other factors.

When a bus accident occurs and you suffer an injury, whether you are a hit pedestrian, a bus passenger or a vehicle driver or passenger in a vehicle hit by a bus, you should obtain photographs of the accident scene, including all vehicles involved, and you should also photograph any injuries caused to victims of the accident. You will also need to write down the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver's license number of everyone involved in the accident, as well as getting the names, addresses and telephone numbers of anyone who witnessed the accident. Under no circumstances should you discuss the accident or your injuries with anyone except for your doctor and attorney.
