Bus accidents are unique in many ways, as buses are often owned and operated by private, public, or government entities, such as school districts or transportation authorities. This can greatly complicate issues of liability.

Why Do I Need An Attorney To Represent Me In A Bus Accident?

These accidents can involve buses used for public transportation, buses run by private companies for long distance travel, tour buses, and even school buses. Bus accidents can be caused by a number of factors, including driver error or fatigue, operating under the influence of alcohol or substance abuse, poor road conditions, and maintenance issues. Sadly, most of the time, an accident could have prevented if the driver wasn't careless and/or negligent.

Bus accidents can be caused by factors including:

  • Improper maintenance
  • Driver error or negligence
  • Drunk driving
  • Rider distractions
  • Flammable seat cushions
  • Faulty emergency exits
  • Dangerous roadways
  • Weather conditions
  • Defective parts/products
  • Tire blow-outs

When a public transportation accident occurs, it is almost never the victim's fault. It could be the driver's fault; perhaps they were speeding, driving while intoxicated, or were distracted. It could be another involved driver's fault as well. Additionally, most buses in Louisiana are not equipped and prepared for such accidents and do not have seatbelts. It is one thing when an individual chooses not to wear his/her seatbelt, but it is something else when he/she did not even have the choice to begin with. Our St. Bernard Parish bus accident lawyers can help you fight to receive the compensation you deserve.
