Most Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Bus accidents in Massachusetts—whether involving public transportation, school buses, or charter buses—can be devastating. Victims often suffer severe injuries and financial hardships, requiring them to navigate a complex legal process to recover compensation.

Some of the most common causes of bus collisions include:

  • Driver Distraction or Error: Accidents often result from driver fatigue, inattention, excessive speeding, or reckless driving.
  • Poor Road Conditions: Inadequate signage, dangerous curves, and poorly maintained roadways contribute to crashes.
  • Adverse Weather: Storms, snow, ice, and heavy rain can create hazardous driving conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Mechanical Failures: Brake malfunctions, tire blowouts, and engine failures can lead to catastrophic accidents.
  • Reckless Driving Maneuvers: Unsafe lane changes, improper turns, and aggressive driving behaviors can cause collisions.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident, a knowledgeable Massachusetts Bus Accident Lawyer can provide the legal guidance you need. They will protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Common Injuries Resulting from Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening. Because many buses lack seat belts, passengers are often at higher risk of severe trauma.

Some of the most common injuries include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
  • Fractures and Broken Bones
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Internal Organ Damage
  • Severe Bruising and Hematomas
  • Whiplash
  • Burns
  • Injuries to Limbs (including amputations)

If you have suffered any of these injuries, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial. While you focus on your recovery, an experienced Massachusetts Bus Accident Lawyer can handle your legal claim and pursue the compensation you need.

Legal Advice from a Massachusetts Bus Accident Lawyer: What to Do After a Collision

Taking the right steps after a bus accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here’s what you should do:

  • Call 911 Immediately: Seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. A police report and medical records will strengthen your case.
  • Gather Evidence: Take photos and videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Collect contact details of witnesses and all involved parties.
  • Do Not Admit Fault: Avoid making statements that could be used against you by insurance companies.

PREMISE LIABILITY

$450,000

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
