Bus Accident Lawyer in New Orleans

With so many people involved, bus crashes present unique challenges. The greater number of people means there is more confusion present at the scene of the accident. While having many witnesses means great things for your case, it doesn’t always guarantee a win. 


Many parties will have a vested interest in the outcome of your bus accident injury case. Buses are a major source of transportation. A bus company must maintain their buses and make sure drivers have proper licenses. Bus companies operate as common carriers and must legally provide their passengers with the utmost duty of care.


Increased Danger

Many people rely on buses to get them to work and take their children to school. When a bus is involved in an accident it is more dangerous because of the lack of safety equipment like seat belts and airbags. Although buses are generally one of the safer ways to travel, accidents can occur. In particularly violent crashes, death tolls can drastically rise due to the lack of safety features and high volume of passengers.


Buses are not aerodynamic, which is one of the reasons they can be prone to losing control and flipping during crashes.

  • What if I Was Injured at a Bus Stop or While Getting on or off the Bus?

    Bus injuries aren’t always traditional auto accident injuries. People can be assaulted and injured while waiting for buses or be hit by a vehicle while sitting at a bus stop.

It may require investigation to determine exactly which parties are liable for your injuries.
