Common Causes of Bus Accidents 

Understanding the common causes of bus accidents can help in prevention and mitigation efforts. Some prevalent factors include:

  • Driver Fatigue: Long shifts can lead to exhausted bus drivers, slowing their reaction time and increasing the likelihood of accidents.
  • Mechanical Failures: Poor maintenance can result in brake failures, tire blowouts, or engine malfunctions, contributing to accidents.
  • Adverse Weather Conditions: San Antonio’s weather can be unpredictable, and rain or fog can compromise visibility and road traction.

In addition to these, distracted driving and aggressive driving behaviors are critical concerns. With the rise of digital devices, distractions within the bus cabin have become more prevalent, emphasizing the need for stringent adherence to safety protocols. By addressing these issues, we seek justice for our clients and advocate for better safety practices across the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bus Accidents

What Should I Do Immediately After a Bus Accident?

The first steps after a bus accident are crucial for your safety and potential legal case. First, seek medical attention, even if injuries are not immediately apparent. Document the scene and exchange information with all parties involved. Notify the police and await their report, which will be vital for future claims. Following these steps can significantly enhance your case’s strength when you consult with a bus accident lawyer in San Antonio.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Bus Accident?

Bus accident liability can be complex, often involving multiple parties such as the bus driver, the transportation company, and potentially third-party vendors responsible for vehicle maintenance. Understanding who can be liable is crucial in pursuing maximum compensation for damages incurred. At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we meticulously assess each case to identify all responsible parties and build a robust claim on your behalf. In some situations, governmental entities responsible for traffic management or road conditions may also bear partial responsibility, especially if hazardous conditions were neglected.

How Is Compensation Calculated in Bus Accident Cases?

Compensation for bus accident cases is calculated based on various factors, including the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Non-economic damages may also be considered. Our experienced attorneys at Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. provide personalized evaluations to ensure you understand your potential compensation scope and fight to maximize your recovery. Further nuances such as long-term care needs or potential disability can significantly impact compensation calculations, requiring an adept understanding of both present and future implications of injuries.

How Long Do I Have to File a Bus Accident Case in Texas?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury case, including bus accidents, is typically two years from the accident date. However, certain circumstances can affect this timeframe. Promptly consulting with an attorney ensures you meet all legal deadlines and proactively safeguard your right to compensation. Be aware that claims involving government entities may have much shorter deadlines and stricter claim-filing procedures, necessitating early legal consultation to secure your rights.
