Ensure Safety: First and foremost, check for injuries. If it's safe to do so, move to a secure location
away from traffic.
-
Call Emergency Services: Contact the police and medical assistance if needed. A police report can be crucial
for your case.

contact information from witnesses.

Exchange Information: Gather details from the bus driver, including their name, contact information, and
the bus company’s details.

Who Is Liable for Your Injuries & Losses?
Determining who is liable for your injuries and losses after a bus accident can be
very complicated. Because bus drivers are commercial vehicle operators, meaning
they
are usually on the clock when these accidents occur, their employers are
often
liable.
However, when third-party negligence plays a role in an accident,
victims
may need
to pursue personal injury claims against those third parties
rather than
or in addition
to claims against the bus driver and/or the bus company.
Depending on the circumstances of an accident, any of the following parties could be partially or solely liable for your injuries and damages:
- The bus driver
- The entity that owns or leases the bus
- A government or municipal entity
- The manufacturer of a defect bus/part
- The driver of another vehicle
- The party responsible for bus maintenance or repairs
Our New Orleans bus accident lawyers know how to properly investigate these claims
to determine who was at fault for the accident, as well as who is liable for
your
resulting damages. Armed with this information, we work tirelessly to recover
the
fair compensation you deserve.
Damages in Bus Accident Claims
When someone else is negligent or acts wrongfully, they can typically be held responsible
for injured victims’ economic and non-economic damages. The term “damages”
refers
to any losses a victim suffers due to the accident and/or their injuries.
After a bus accident, your damages may include things like:
- Medical bills
- Lost income/wages
- Future medical expenses and lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Lost quality of life
