There are two types of bus accidents related legal situations:
- You were a passenger on a bus that was involved in an accident.
- You were driving or riding in a passenger vehicle that collided with a bus.
An auto accident lawyer with the Glick & Grife can help in both instances.
If you were a passenger on a bus that was involved in an accident, obviously the accident was not your fault. You may still deserve compensation for injuries sustained through no fault of your own. Legally, however, you must prove negligence on the part of the other parties, which can include the bus driver, the owner of the bus, and the operators of any other vehicles involved in the collision.
"Negligence" is a legal definition involving the comparative inattention towards a potentially dangerous situation that a reasonable, prudent person would have avoided. Proving negligence is not something easily done. That's why you need an attorney on your side. Glick & Grife has the resources and skills necessary to investigate your bus accident-related injuries and subsequent legal claims.
If you were driving a bus, or were a passenger in a vehicle that collided with a bus, you should also hire legal representation. It can be difficult to obtain compensation from a bus company after a bus accident, because it's difficult to prove who was legally responsible. The negligent party could be the bus driver, the owner of the bus company, the bus maintenance supervisor, or a combination of these people.
