Bus Accidents in Indiana
Bus accidents, particularly head-on collisions, can lead to severe injuries due to the size and weight of these large vehicles. While school buses are designed to protect passengers, crashes involving other vehicles can have devastating consequences, especially for smaller cars.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), thousands of crashes occur statewide each year, with many involving serious injuries. Common causes of head-on collisions include driver distraction, improper lane usage, and failure to obey traffic signals.
Victims of severe crashes often face significant medical expenses, rehabilitation, and long recovery periods. In Indiana, those injured due to another driver’s negligence have the right to seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and other damages. Understanding legal options can be crucial for those affected by serious accidents.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a bus accident or head-on collision, seeking legal guidance can help you navigate the recovery process.
