Have you been injured in a bus or trolley accident, as a passenger, a pedestrian, or the driver of another vehicle? Injuries involving public transportation can be the most complex of motor vehicle accident claims. Call our mass transit injury attorneys right away to ensure your claim is handled fairly and expediently.
Your medical bills may be the responsibility of the bus company. When you have been injured in a bus accident in Pennsylvania, the bus company will hand out claim cards. It is important that you fill out and return this card as soon as possible. Otherwise, your injury will be unrecorded and you may not be compensated for your injuries.
Bus accidents are more complicated than other motor vehicle crashes. Drivers must be properly trained and licensed, the bus must meet federal safety requirements, buses do not always have seat belts, and the size of a bus makes death and injury more likely in a crash. Specific types of bus accidents may include:
