Covington Bus Accident Lawyer

Covington Personal Injury Lawyer  >  Covington Bus Accident Lawyer

Busses provide millions of people around the country with a convenient and inexpensive method of transportation daily. Busses are also relatively safe, since accidents are not as common as they are with passenger vehicle collisions. When you get on a bus, you trust that the bus driver and transportation company will take you where you need to go cautiously, safely, and in a reasonable amount of time. However, when bus crashes do occur, the damages and injuries can often be catastrophic.

If you sustained injuries in a bus or other public transportation accident, our personal injury attorney may be able to help you collect compensation for the injuries you sustained. Our experienced Covington bus accident lawyers at O’Connor, Acciani & Levy can help investigate the accident and review the evidence to determine the liable party.

Establishing Liability after a Bus Accident

An injury claim after a bus accident will rely on proving negligence on the part of the bus driver, company, manufacturer, or other commuter vehicle driver in civil court. Unlike more straight forward passenger vehicle collisions, determining liability after a bus crash can be difficult. With so many possible defendants and injured parties, filing an injury claim can be a challenging and complex process.

Potentially liable parties in a public transportation or bus accident case include the:

  • Bus driver
  • Transportation company that employs the driver
  • Driver of the other passenger car
  • Manufacturer of the bus

Our skilled attorneys in Covington can review the details of your bus collision to determine all parties who can be named in the lawsuit.

The Pure Comparative Fault Rule in Bus Crashes

The pure comparative fault rule under Kentucky Revised Statutes §411.182. says that when both the plaintiff and the defendant hold responsibility for damages, the court can hold both liable. When the court finds both parties accountable for a percentage of the injuries, they decrease the injured party’s compensation by the percentage for which they find them responsible.

Our diligent lawyers in Covington can help you determine your compensation after a pure comparative fault ruling in a bus wreck case.

Schedule an Appointment with a Qualified Bus Accident Attorney in Covington

Most people do not consider a bus collision a possibility until it happens. When these crashes do occur, the legal actions require an entirely different set of rules and regulations than regular passenger vehicle crashes. When you are in this situation, it is vital that you know where to turn for advice and support.

Given the complexities of public transportation accidents and the severity of the damages, there is a high degree of urgency on the part of the injured parties to settle. Our skilled Covington personal injury lawyers at O’Connor, Acciani & Levy will help clients identify potential defendants and prepare a strategy to ensure a fair and just payout for compensation for the damages you suffered. Call us today to get started on the complex investigation and claim right away.
