Bus Accidents in California
Bus accidents, while less common than standard vehicle collisions, can have serious consequences due to the size and weight of buses. In cities like Los Angeles, where public transit and private buses operate regularly, crashes involving buses can lead to severe injuries for passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists.
Some common causes of bus accidents include:
- Driver fatigue or distraction
- Sudden stops or improper lane changes
- Failure to yield at intersections
- Pedestrians crossing unexpectedly
- Mechanical failures or poor vehicle maintenance
Victims of bus accidents may suffer from a wide range of injuries, including head trauma, fractures, and soft tissue damage. Seeking medical attention immediately after a crash is critical, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident, understanding your legal rights is essential. Compensation may be available to help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the crash.
