What We Know About These Accidents
Bus crashes can be major events. In fact, they could end up as mass casualty incidents. When a bus crash happens, regardless of who is at fault, the following people can sustain serious injuries:
- The passengers on the bus and the bus driver
- Passengers and drivers in other vehicles involved
- Pedestrians, bicyclists, and others involved
Buses weigh much more than regular vehicles which can lead to serious injuries for those struck by a bus. For bus passengers, most of whom are usually unrestrained, they can be thrown around inside of a bus after an impact. It is not uncommon for us to deal with the following injuries in the aftermath of a bus crash:
- Broken and dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Whiplash injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (including concussions)
Each of these injuries requires victims to receive medical treatment. For serious injuries, a victim may need extensive surgery and rehabilitation in order to make a full recovery. In the worst-case scenario, a bus crash victim could be disabled or killed.
The problem in the aftermath of a crash is determining who is going to be responsible for covering the expenses. Which insurance company will be on the line and will they offer victims a fair settlement?
What happens if a bus driver or bus company is at fault?
There have been cases of bus drivers operating while Impaired or Distracted behind the wheel. It is vital that bus drivers follow all traffic laws and be properly licensed. Bus companies should regularly inspect and maintain their vehicles in order to prevent vehicle failure. If a bus driver or company is responsible for a crash, they need to be held accountable for any injuries they cause.
