Determining Liability in Bus Accidents



Determining liability in bus accident cases requires a thorough investigation. In some cases, the bus company may be responsible due to negligence in driver training, maintenance, or safety protocols. In others, the driver’s own actions—such as distracted driving, fatigue, or reckless behavior—might be to blame. Additionally, if defective vehicle parts contributed to the accident, the manufacturer could be held liable. When local governments are responsible for unsafe road conditions or traffic signal issues, they too can be liable. At Ryan Dolinar Law, we meticulously investigate every detail to identify all responsible parties and build a strong case for maximum compensation.

Common Injuries in Bus Accidents

The types of injuries sustained in bus accidents can be severe, often requiring extensive and ongoing medical care. Head and brain injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries, are frequent due to the sudden impact, and spinal cord injuries are also common, sometimes leading to paralysis or other long-term complications. Many victims suffer fractures, torn ligaments, and other painful injuries that can limit mobility and quality of life. At Ryan Dolinar Law, we are dedicated to securing the compensation necessary for comprehensive treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation.
