Montgomery County, PA Bus Accident Attorney

On our daily commutes, we will see countless buses on the roadways. You typically do not give them a second thought unless you become a victim of a bus accident. In cases where there is a bus versus a passenger vehicle, the results can often be devastating. Us companies will have big-name insurance companies and attorneys backing them. This can often frighten and deter victims from going up against them. That should not be the case, especially when you have a Montgomery County bus accident attorney on your team.

Kinds of Buses

Philadelphia is unique in that there are several different types of buses on our roads. Each of these buses provides a different service to our community and serves as crucial means of transport for our community members. The most common types of buses you may encounter on your daily commute are:

  • OurBus
  • SEPTA
  • School Buses
  • Greyhound
  • BoltBUs
  • Martz Trailways
  • MegaBus
  • Fullington Trailways
  • Chinatown Buses
  • Peter Pan Bus Line

All of these buses provide services to residents and visitors alike. While some buses are transporting people others may be transporting goods. Buses do make the community go around and are important parts of our city. This does not however excuse negligent behavior which is where a bus accident attorney comes in.

Causes of Bus Accidents

A bus accident can happen within seconds and leave devastation in its wake as a result. Life can be completely altered because of a split-second negligent decision. While an accident can happen for any reason, there are some that are specific to bus drivers. These include:

  • Driver distractions
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Bus companies inadequately inspection their vehicles
  • Bus companies not enforcing restrictions on drivers
  • Failure to follow traffic rules on behalf of the bus driver
  • Speeding
  • Reckless driving

Injuries From Bus Accidents

Due to the size and weight of a bus, the injuries that victims can sustain are often substantial. Whether you are in a passenger vehicle or a bystander walking by, you will likely never be the same. You will most likely sustain these injuries from a bus accident:

  • Crush injuries
  • Loss of limb
  • Broken bones
  • Lacerations
  • Permanent scars
  • Open head wounds
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Concussions
  • Comma
  • Internal organ damage
  • Traumatic brain injuries

This is not an exhaustive list as each accident is unique and you may sustain an injury not listed here. If your loved one was involved in a bus accident and did not survive, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. Consult with a Montgomery County bus accident attorney to determine the best route to take.

Compensation For Your Injuries

You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. It is important to note that there is a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. This means the sooner you file the better chance you have of getting the compensation you deserve. You can seek damages for a range of things including past and future medical bills related to the accident.
