Dallas Bus Accidents Lawyer
When you or a loved one boards a city bus, a private bus line or a school bus, you are taking a risk that the bus may not make it to its destination safely. While buses get in accidents much less often than standard passenger cars, the result of these accidents is very dangerous. If you or a loved one had been injured or killed on a bus accident, please call a Dallas personal injury attorney from Crain Lewis as soon as possible.
Buses are legally defined as a common carrier, meaning they have an exceptionally high responsibility to keep passengers safe. When passengers are injured, whether it be due to an accident, luggage falling out of the vehicle or a slip and fall down the aisle way, the company that owns the bus is liable. This is particularly true because once a passenger loads a bus, he or she has no control over the vehicle. If an accident occurs, the passengers have no fault in the crash. That is why anyone who has been injured while on a bus should contact a top Dallas personal injury lawyer.
Bus accidents are rare, but 15,000 people are still injured in these types of crashes every year. This figure does not include other bus-related injuries, such as damages resulting from collapsing overhead luggage bars or injuries that occur during a crime due to negligent security onboard or at the station. If you have been injured while boarding or deboarding, waiting at a bus station building or riding on the bus, you are eligible for compensation with the help of a skilled Dallas personal injury attorney.
When you work with our offices, we can ensure that your Dallas personal injury lawyer will strive to ensure you receive compensation for your pain, medical expenses, emotional suffering, time out of work disfigurement and any other damages you may be entitled to. If you have any questions or are ready to schedule a free initial consultation, please call our office today.
