When you or a loved one boards a bus, you put your safety into the hands of the bus driver. If something goes wrong, the company that controls the bus is liable for any injuries suffered by you or your family members. While buses are generally safer than passenger vehicles, they can still be involved in accidents and people may still be injured. If you or a loved one has been hurt or killed while riding a city bus, please call a Chicago accident attorney as soon as possible.
Because buses are considered a common carrier, they have the highest legal responsibility to bring their passengers to the intended destinations in the same condition the passenger boarded the bus in. When someone is injured on a bus, whether due to poor flooring, bad driving or a car accident, that person deserves compensation. If you or a loved one has been injured in any of these situations or any similar scenarios, a Chicago accident lawyer can help.
While bus accidents are rare, that doesn’t mean they don’t happen. 15,000 people are injured in bus crashes every year. When you or a loved one are among this select crowd of victims, you have the right to seek compensation for your suffering.
Your Chicago accident attorney can help you claim damages covering your medical expenses, pain, suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, disfigurement and any other related injuries you may have suffered from.
