Bakersfield Bus Accident Lawyer

Bus transportation in Bakersfield provides environmentally friendly convenience and accessibility, but when buses are involved in accidents, the results can be terrible.

Bus accidents can lead to painful and devastating injuries because of various factors, such as the vehicle’s large size and possible lack of safety features. If you have been injured in a crash with a bus, call our Bakersfield bus accident lawyer today to discuss your circumstances and help you pursue the compensation you deserve through a personal injury claim.

Injuries Commonly Caused by Bus Accidents

When buses are involved in accidents, passengers or others involved in the accident can suffer severe or even fatal injuries. Some common injuries sustained from bus accidents are:

Head injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Lacerations
Burns
Broken bones
Organ Damage
Emotional trauma and psychological distress
Death

Our Bakersfield lawyers account for all injuries and losses in a bus accident claim. We will fight for compensation for short and long-term losses caused by your injuries.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Bus Crash?

Determining liable parties in a bus accident can be complicated as responsibility for the bus accident may be split across multiple parties. Parties that may be liable in an accident include the bus driver, bus company, maintenance workers, government entities like a public transportation system or school district, manufacturers, and other drivers.

A party may be considered liable for a bus accident victim’s injuries in the following circumstances:

Failure to comply with laws or regulations
Improper licensing or training
Neglecting bus maintenance
Driver negligence
Driver operating the vehicle while intoxicated

An attorney in Bakersfield could determine the cause of a bus crash and who is liable for it.

What Types of Damages Can Be Pursued?

Our skilled Bakersfield lawyers can fight to ensure you pursue and recover as much compensation as allowed by the law after a bus crash. California law allows an injured person to seek economic and non-economic monetary damages in the wake of an accident.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are compensation for easily quantified financial losses. The purpose of economic damages is to restore the victim to the financial position they were in before the accident. Some examples of economic damages are medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, out-of-pocket expenses, and, in wrongful death cases, funeral and burial expenses.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are compensation for losses that may not be able to be quantified financially, but, even so, have a significant impact on the victim’s well-being. For example, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, or disability.

Our team will pursue all avenues of compensation and fight to maximize your recovery.
