Determining Liability in Georgia Bus Accidents Can Be Complex

Multiple parties may be responsible for a bus accident, even those not directly involved in the crash. Our Mableton bus accident attorneys will investigate the cause of the accident, to identify all potentially liable parties in your case. 

They may include:

• Bus drivers: If the driver was negligent, such as driving under the influence or while distracted, they might be held liable.
• Bus companies: The company that owns and operates the bus can be held liable for negligence, such as improper maintenance or inadequate driver training.
• Manufacturers: If a defective part causes a bus accident, the manufacturer could be held liable. Similarly, if the bus itself is found defective, the bus manufacturer may be held liable.
• Government entities: In cases involving public buses, government entities might be liable if they failed to maintain safe conditions or properly oversee bus operations.
• Other drivers or road users: The actions of other drivers or road users can contribute to a crash, such as cutting off the bus, making sudden stops, or failing to follow traffic laws.

If your case is complex and involves multiple parties, we will handle negotiations with each one on your behalf. The involvement of multiple parties can make the case more challenging, but with decades of legal experience and knowledge, we are well-equipped to manage your personal injury case effectively.

Bus Accident Victims Can Suffer Minor and Major Injuries

Bus accidents can result in a range of injuries, from minor to severe, including:

• Whiplash and neck injuries: Sudden stops or collisions can cause whiplash or other neck injuries.
• Broken bones: The impact of a bus accident can lead to fractures or broken bones.
• Head and brain injuries: Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may occur from a blow to the head.
• Spinal cord injuries: Severe impacts can result in spinal cord damage, potentially causing paralysis.
• Cuts and bruises: Passengers may suffer cuts, bruises, and lacerations from broken glass or being thrown around inside the bus.

Whether you believe your injuries are severe or minor, you should seek medical attention promptly. Not all injuries that appear minor remain that way, and some injuries may develop or become apparent later. We can discuss your medical care options and connect you with resources if needed.
