That’s where we come in. At Burnetti, P.A., we have the knowledge, resources, and experience to handle these complicated claims. Our team will investigate your case thoroughly, identify who is liable, and build a solid legal strategy to pursue the full value of your damages. We’re committed to holding negligent parties accountable so you can focus on recovering.

“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can happen for various reasons, many of which involve negligence. Understanding what led to the crash is critical in building a strong claim. Some of the most common causes of bus accidents include:

• Driver error: Bus drivers must meet a high standard of care to ensure passenger and public safety. Distractions, speeding, or poor decision-making can have disastrous results.
• Driver fatigue: Long shifts and irregular schedules can leave bus drivers overtired, increasing the risk of accidents.
• Impairment: Operating a bus under the influence of drugs or alcohol is both reckless and illegal.
• Mechanical failures: Lack of proper maintenance can lead to issues such as brake failure or engine problems, resulting in crashes.
• Negligent drivers: Other motorists who fail to yield, run red lights, or drive aggressively can also cause bus accidents.
• Poorly maintained roads: Potholes, construction zones, and unmarked hazards can contribute to crashes.
• Defective bus parts: Faulty design or manufacturing defects in the bus itself can lead to catastrophic accidents.

When bus accidents occur, the injuries can be severe, leading to significant hardships for victims and their families.

Injuries Resulting from Bus Accidents

The size and weight of buses make them capable of causing devastating injuries during accidents, even at relatively low speeds. Some common injuries from bus accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Head injuries from impacts can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, and ongoing medical care.
• Spinal cord injuries: These injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, requiring lifelong support and rehabilitation.
• Broken bones: Victims often suffer fractures that may require surgery and prolonged recovery periods.
• Internal injuries: Organ damage or internal bleeding can be life-threatening and demand immediate medical attention.
• Lacerations and burns: Broken glass, metal, or flames from a crash can cause disfiguring injuries.
• Wrongful death: Tragically, some bus accidents lead to fatalities, leaving loved ones behind to grieve and seek justice.

If you or a loved one has experienced these or any other injuries due to a bus accident, you deserve to seek compensation for your losses. At Burnetti, P.A., we are dedicated to helping you through this process.

Determining Liability in Bus Accidents

One of the most challenging aspects of a bus accident claim is determining who is responsible. Liability may fall on:

• The bus driver: If the driver’s negligence, such as speeding or distracted driving, caused the accident, they may be held responsible.
• The bus company: Companies are responsible for hiring experienced drivers, maintaining buses, and adhering to safety standards. Failure in these areas can make them liable.
• Other drivers: If a negligent motorist caused the collision, they could also be held accountable.
• Manufacturers: If a faulty part or design flaw contributed to the crash, the manufacturer could be liable under product liability laws.
• Government entities: When public transportation buses are involved, the government agency operating the system may bear responsibility for the accident.

At Burnetti, P.A., our attorneys leave no stone unturned in identifying the responsible parties and pursuing justice on behalf of our clients.
