I got into a car accident where I was rearended by another car and it was all their fault. Mr. Redenburg helped me with everything and made sure all the hospital bills were paid and that I got paid for the time I lost from work. When it was all over, I got a great settlement and was very happy. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in a car accident and needs a great lawyer. He was very easy to deal with and always available to answer all my questions. Thank you and God Bless!

Who Is Liable for the Bus Accident?

Determining liability with respect to a bus accident can be difficult. If the driver of a sedan caused the accident, then that will be the named defendant in the subsequent litigation. Get the name of that driver, their license number as well as their insurance information. If the operator of the bus is the at-fault party, then you need to get the bus number, the name of the bus driver or their ID number and the company they work for, as well as the bus route number. The more information you can obtain the better. If the police come to scene of the crash then get their badge numbers, precinct affiliation and a copy of the police accident report if possible.

Bus drivers may have been the reason for the crash. In some instances, you may be able to pursue monetary compensation from the company that the bus driver was working for at the time. Bus drivers are often employees of a school district, public transit agency, or a larger business enterprise. That business may be able to be held liable for the tortious actions of the bus driver. If it was a City or Transit bus, please be aware that there are very strict time limits to put the City or Transit on Notice of the accident and your intention to pursue a claim, and if proper notice is not given, your claim can be forever lost.

It’s also important to realize that the bus driver isn’t always to blame. Buses require a lot of regular maintenance. Investigations sometimes shoddy repairs or excessive amounts of wear and tear. Another party that could potentially be liable is the bus manufacturer. There may be a poor design or manufacturing defect as well.

Were You Hurt in a Bus Accident?

You may use the bus for your daily commute or to get around town to visit people you know. When you’re riding the bus, you should be able to trust that the driver is going to operate her bus carefully and competently to avoid any type of crash. If that driver’s negligence leads to an accident and your subsequent injuries, then you may have a case against the public transit agency. This agency is a part of the local government, though. It’s best to work with a lawyer to navigate this type of claim.
