Have you been injured in a bus accident?

Many people depend heavily on bus transportation to get them to and from work and to care for their needs each and every day. In urban areas especially, people have chosen not to even own a car because of high gas and parking costs, so safe and quality public transportation is crucial. Roads are clogged with traffic, and commuters can leave that stress and worry behind by taking the bus. Others depend on buses for long-range and group transportation needs. Countless school children rely on bus transportation to get to school and back safely. A bus driver should be well-trained, diligent, and respectful of other drivers on the road and the passengers on the bus, and when he or she fails at this duty, it can lead to accidents. If you have been injured in such an accident, a personal injury lawyer stands ready to help you. More information on this website

Both public and private bus companies must hire safe drivers and train them well before putting them behind the wheel of such large and powerful vehicles. If they fail at this duty, they can be held responsible for a rash of ensuing liability issues. Drivers themselves put everyone on the road at risk when they:

Lack proper training, experience or temperament
Drink alcohol before or on duty
Drive under the influence of drugs
Do not receive proper rest or pull long/double shifts
Are distracted by passengers, cell phones, radio, and other factors
Are negligent in strictly following traffic laws

The attorney you select to handle any accident involving serious injury up to and including death from an accident involving a commercial trucking vehicle bears direct relationship to proper recompense from the trucking company and their insurer. A motor vehicle accident involving an over the road or commercial carrier is a specific and complex legal matter.

Familiarity with hours of services rules, trucking regulations, and a complete knowledge of the communication procedures within the trucking industry is imperative as a starting point to properly represent a client who has been injured as a result of a trucking related accident.

A complete knowledge of these regulations and the complexities of discovery cannot be understated in the handling of such a matter. Admin has represented numerous clients in death cases occasioned by trucking accidents along with very seriously injured clients, who suffered injuries though the improper and illegal actions of commercial truck operators and their owners. You should entrust any potential case involving a truck related accident only to an attorney who is experienced with such matters.

The trucking industry is expert at handling these types of claims, and in fact the trucking interests and their insurers will have their investigators and other personnel present shortly after such a major accident and will begin to gather evidence likely before you even consult with an attorney. Your only defense against their early building of a defense is to consult with an attorney as early in the process as you are able. Do not hesitate….schedule an appointment with an experienced trial attorney who can pursue your rights against these defendants.

You may only bring suit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State and Local Governments under the Political Sub Division Tort Claims Act. This Act is very specific and has specific categories under which you may overcome sovereign immunity (the right of the government to be immune from suit). There are specific notice requirements and limitations in that Act that weigh strongly against a client hesitating seeking representation.

Attorney Vivian has litigated successfully against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and numerous local governments involving injuries occasioned by the conduct of the government. Injury suits involving the Federal Government are subject to the Federal Tort Claims Act, and again, are very technical in terms of notice requirements and process. Time limitations are crucial in any suit to be brought against the Government. There is absolutely no substitute for experience in suits brought against the Government, and if you were injured on Government property or as a result of any interaction with Government employees you should schedule a consultation at once in order to protect your rights.
