Bus Injuries

If you have been injured in a bus accident, Vladimir Gagic Law Office is ready to help you recover the damages you are entitled to.

In metro areas across the country, traffic is becoming more and more congested and people are increasingly choosing to take advantage of public transportation.  Unfortunately, the rise in use of public transportation has come with a corresponding rise in the number of fatalities that have taken place during the use of public transportation.

Along with city buses, millions of children ride in emblematic yellow school busses all over the country every day.  There are about 450,000 school busses in the country, and they traverse over two million miles every day.  With such huge numbers, it’s unsurprising that the NHTSA reports that there are 130 deaths and 12,000 injuries in the 16,000 bus accidents that occur every year.  These accidents are particularly tragic, as they tend to hurt the youngest members of our families.

Bus accident claims are usually far more complicated than an average automobile accident claim.  There are a number of licensing, safety, and ownership issues that you will need an experienced attorney to sort through.  Your attorney will need to determine the responsible party, which can be the carrier company, the driver, a school district, the bus maintenance company, or any number of other individuals or groups.  At Vladimir Gagic Law Office, we will use our experience to ensure that this mess of rules and details is untangled, ensuring that you or your loved ones will receive appropriate compensation for your injury.

Transit and bus companies are held to a higher standard than your average automobile operator, so if you or a loved one is injured as a passenger, driver of another vehicle, or pedestrian, you may be entitled to make a claim.  A claim can include many different facets, but in a bus injury the most common claims are for medical expenses, compensation for lost wages, permanent disability, pain and suffering, and if you have lost a loved one, wrongful death and compensation for grief.  In the case of certain catastrophic injuries, the victim may need a host of medical professionals and nurses to be cared for properly, and this care can be very expensive.  A successful claim can be the difference between a life that is manageable and a life of crushing financial and medical burdens.
