Experienced Bus Accident Attorneys in California

Thousands of Los Angelinos ride a school, municipal, intercity, or tour bus daily. These drivers must safely operate these vehicles under challenging conditions. For example, many drivers wear several hats. In addition to safely operating the vehicle, they must serve as tour guides and chaperones. Most people can safely multitask at home, work, or school. However, divided attention behind the wheel often leads to vehicle collisions.

Do you know an estimated 60,000 bus accidents occur each year in the United States? While many of these incidents involve only property damage, a considerable number lead to serious injuries and even fatalities. Crashes may be the most serious kind of bus injuries, but they are certainly not the only ones. Usually, the entity that owns the bus is responsible for falls or other pickup/dropoff injuries. The same principle applies to falls and other unintentional injuries on the bus, such as falls on a slippery aisle. Moreover, bus operators are generally responsible for intentional torts, such as passenger-on-passenger assaults.

Legal theories are vitally crucial for a personal injury lawyer. However, a case won’t hold up in court without solid evidence that proves the legal theory by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not). Evidence in a bus accident claim usually includes the police accident report, witness statements, and medical bills. If these sources are insufficient, for whatever reason, a Los Angeles bus accident lawyer often bolsters the case with electronic evidence, such as the vehicle’s Event Data Recorder (a gadget similar to a commercial jet’s back box) and/or surveillance camera footage.
