Bus Accidents

Buses are a unique form of transportation that allows large groups of people to be moved all at once from place to place. Bus lines and companies rely on dedicated, responsible workers who are willing to get behind the wheel for eight or more hours per day. Sometimes, no matter how careful these workers are, accidents happen. Bus drivers who are injured in a bus accident may be entitled to workers’ compensation for their injuries and damages.

The Bus as a Workplace

For most people, their place of work remains in one place all the time, such as in an office building, store, or restaurant. Bus drivers are part of a unique industry with a constantly moving workplace with shifting demands. The bus is the workplace, and when an accident disrupts a driver’s work and causes injury, it is considered a work-related accident. This makes an accident an important issue in workers’ compensation for a bus driver.

Collecting Compensation

A bus accident may occur for many different reasons. A road hazard may cause the bus to tip over, inclement weather could make the roads slick and unsafe, or a distracted car driver may cause an accident. In any of these cases, a bus driver may not be at fault and may be severely injured. If this has happened to you, consider consulting with a workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages from time off of work, recovery costs, and other damages.
