Bus Accidents in Minnesota
Public transit vehicles, such as Metro Mobility buses, play a vital role in transporting individuals with disabilities and mobility challenges throughout St. Paul and the Twin Cities area. However, accidents involving buses and other vehicles can result in injuries due to the size of the vehicle, lack of seat belts for passengers, and sudden impacts.
According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS), bus-involved crashes are less frequent than passenger vehicle accidents but often lead to passenger injuries, driver injuries, and significant vehicle damage. Victims of such accidents may face medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and time away from work.
Minnesota law allows injured victims to seek compensation if the accident was caused by negligence, reckless driving, or poor roadway conditions. Seeking legal assistance can help ensure fair treatment and the recovery of medical costs and lost wages.
