Bus Accident

Connecticut Bus accident injury law includes all manner of Bus, Commercial, Public Carriers, Local City buses run for commuters and private passenger carriers such as Peter Pan and Greyhound Bus Lines. In Connecticut, the same motor vehicle laws which apply to private automobiles apply to buses. In addition, Connecticut law recognizes a higher duty in some instances to passengers aboard such vehicles that are injured.

If you are injured in a crash and it is a bus which is involved it is important to retain Legal Council familiar with the unique characteristics and physics of how such large vehicles move, accelerate, stop and provide their drivers an enhanced view of the road in many instances. Operating a Bus is different than a passenger vehicle for a number of reasons. The physics of the crash and the resultant consequence to those involved is drastically more severe which is why the injuries tend to be more severe. On an annual basis, the percentage of driving fatalities, brain injuries, paralysis and fractures requiring surgery stemming from truck accidents is astonishing. 

In Connecticut, we have experienced a number of high profile trucking and Bus collision cases that have received widespread recognition. My office has successfully pursued accident cases on behalf of those injured and on behalf of those who have lost family members . We have also sued manufacturers for faulty equipment resulting in unnecessary injuries on multiple occasions. Nationwide, my firm has been involved in evaluating and sometimes referring Bus accident cases via my truckingaccidents.com website.. 

If you have been harmed in such an event or while on a Bus we will aggressively and tirelessly pursue your case. Getting legal help early is perhaps the single most important thing you can do once you have secured high quality medical and rehabilitative care. Strict Statute of Limitation periods apply and there is often much advance preparation and additional investigation which precedes the filing of a lawsuit.We pursue these types of cases, when justified, strictly on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs of investigation which you are not responsible for unless we recover a Judgement or settlement on your behalf.
"The profession of law is not just a business. It transcends a mere occupation. It is a lifelong communal pursuit of justice."
