Though buses are widely considered one of the safest modes of transportation in the United States, bus accidents can – and do – happen. Contrary to popular belief about the safety of buses, in 2013 18,000 buses were involved in injury crashes with 38,000 people injured according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Though the fatalities for bus accidents are generally low, injuries can be severe due to the size of buses and the lax seatbelt requirements in these vehicles. San Diego area bus accidents have included anything from slip and fall injuries to broken bones, smashed limbs, and burns. This does not include the injuries sustained by the occupants of passenger vehicles struck by buses.
Bus accident lawsuits can be complicated
When passengers are seriously injured in a San Diego bus accident, they may be able to take action to hold responsible parties accountable. That may be the bus driver, bus company or bus manufacturer. Victims can claim damages in a civil lawsuit that pays for pain and suffering, medical bills, psychiatric treatment, and even lost wages.
Bus accident lawsuits can be complicated by issues of ownership and operation. Generally, bus carriers have a stronger duty of care and thus may be liable to pay damages to the injured victims when negligence can be proven. The location and circumstances of the bus accident can also strongly influence the amount available to accident victims.
