Bus Accidents

Texas Bus & Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyers

Busses are used to transport millions of people every day in the United States. Because of this, busses are held to rigorous maintenance and inspection standards, and bus drivers are continually trained in safe driving skills and accident prevention. Despite these precautions, accidents involving busses do sometimes occur. At the Personal injury law firms of Fitts Zehl, LLP & Mark & Associates, P.C., our attorneys know that busses and other fleet vehicles are held to a statute of strict liability, which means that injured motorists do not have to prove that the accident was the bus company’s fault, simply that they did not employ proper measures to avoid it.
As a consequence of the size of busses and the large number of passengers that may be on a bus at any given time, the potential for tragedy in the event of a collision involving a bus is great. Additionally, many bus passengers are not required to wear any sort of restraint such as a seatbelt, and can sustain major injuries in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Common injuries sustained during major bus accidents include brain injury, spinal cord injury, and burn injury. If you were injured or a loved one suffered wrongful death as a result of a bus accident, you may be legally entitled to compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
