Lawrenceville, Virginia Bus Accident Attorney

Buses are all around us, and while you may be going about your day in your car and never take a second look at the bus, you may be involved in a bus accident. You might even be riding the bus or be a pedestrian walking down the road. Bus accidents can affect anyone who is in the vicinity. If you are involved in a bus accident, it is essential to have legal representation from a Lawrenceville bus accident attorney. We will be able to investigate the circumstance of your accident and hold responsible parties liable for their actions.

How do Bus Accidents Happen?

You may be wondering how a bus accident can even happen. When there are so many vehicles on the road, accidents are bound to happen. There are several common reasons that accidents happen, including:

  • Equipment failure
  • Improper turning
  • Speeding
  • Reckless driving
  • Following too closely
  • Driving under the influence
  • Improper training
  • Driver fatigue
  • Improper maintenance

This is not a complete list, and a bus accident can happen for any reason. The road may not be adequately maintained, or a cat runs in front of the vehicles. Regardless of the reason, a responsible party needs to pay for how they contributed to the situation.

Catastrophic Bus Accident Injuries

In most cases, the persons traveling in passenger vehicles around the bus involved in an accident will sustain most of the injuries. They will often be substantial or catastrophic injuries. Typically, those riding on the bus do not sustain major injuries or any injuries at all. Other victims do not survive the impact of being involved in a bus accident. Some of the most common bus accident injuries we see are:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Permanent scars
  • Burns
  • Whiplash
  • Back injuries like herniated discs
  • Disfigurement
  • Spinal cord trauma
  • Paralysis
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Neck injuries
  • Amputations

Many of these injuries will take months, if not years, to recover. Some do not have the possibility for recovery at all. Your life has been completely altered, and someone will have to answer for this, which is where a Lawrenceville bus accident attorney comes in. We will investigate your claim and build a case against the negligent and liable parties.
