Buses are mass-transport vehicles that can cause much more damage than single passenger vehicles when accidents happen. Many more people in large cities use public transport to commute to work or to move around the city because they’re cheaper, faster and much more convenient to use. If you or a dear one has been injured in a bus accident, contact a personal injury lawyer without delay, to explore the possibility of getting compensation. Accidents are usually caused by another person’s/agency’s fault or negligence and the injured are entitled to receive compensation from those responsible for the accident.

School Bus Accidents 

Apart from public transportation buses, school bus accidents also cause tremendous damage to their young passengers or to pedestrians/other motorists on the road if they’re driven rashly or the safety norms are not rigorously followed. Ontario licensing regulations are very strict for school bus drivers and they must meet certain important requirements and undergo specific training to operate such vehicles. If your child was injured in a school bus accident, our accident injury lawyers available 24×7 can assist you in filing a personal injury claim against those responsible for the accident.

Types of Injuries Sustained in Bus Accidents

Like most other motor vehicle accidents, the accidents sustained in a mishap involving a bus would range from simple cuts, bruises, lacerations or sprains to serious wounds, broken bones, fractures, head/neck/back injury, dislocation of joints, loss of vision/hearing, amputation, nerve damage, internal bleeding, paralysis, permanent disability or death. Certain injuries may appear simple initially, but their full effect may be experienced after a time gap. Sometimes, chronic pain, fibromyalgia or certain types of disability can manifest much later. Apart from collision related injuries, a great number of injuries occur as a result of acceleration or deceleration while boarding or exiting the bus. Another important aspect is the psychological and emotional factor – many accident victims suffer post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, etc. All these short and long term issues require appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Children who have been involved in school bus accidents may sustain more severe injuries, with long-term effects. They also require specialized care. Our 24×7 injury lawyers can assist you to get the best medical advice and treatment immediately.
