Commercial buses are incredible lifelines for residents in and around Philadelphia. In our area, the following types of buses all provide valuable services to our residents and visitors:

There are various groups of people that could sustain injuries in the event an accident involving a bus occurs. This includes passengers on the bus, the bus driver, passengers and drivers in other vehicles involved in the crash, and bystanders in the vicinity of a bus crash.

Unfortunately, bus crashes often result in severe injuries for victims. At Solomon, Sherman, Gabay, Briskin & Sherman., our Philadelphia personal injury lawyers regularly help clients who have sustained the following injuries:

• Broken or dislocated bones
• Lacerations or puncture wounds
• Crush injuries or amputations
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Open head wounds
• Concussions
• Spinal cord injuries with paralysis
• Other severe neck or back injuries
• Internal organ damage or internal bleeding

Our Philadelphia bus accident lawyers often discover that there are various causes of these crashes. Liability regularly falls to drivers in passenger vehicles that fail to follow traffic laws. However, there are times when the careless or negligent actions of a bus company or bus driver cause severe crashes. This can include:

• Bus drivers operating while distracted by phones or other devices
• Bus drivers operating while impaired by alcohol drugs
• Bus drivers failing to follow traffic laws (failing to yield, speeding, failing to stop, etc.)
• Bus companies failing to inspect and maintain each vehicle
• Bus companies failing to enforce restrictions on hours of operation for bus drivers

Determining liability for these incidents can be difficult, but our attorneys have the resources necessary to investigate every aspect of these cases. We will obtain bus driver and bus company records, review surveillance footage of the incident, speak to eyewitnesses, and more.
