Bus accidents are rare, but whether it’s a school bus accident or a public transportation bus accident, we have personal injury lawyers to assist you. If you or someone you know was injured in a bus accident and need legal assistance, contact a public bus injury, or Atlanta bus accident lawyer today for legal advice.
While bus accidents are not common occurrences, they are devastating when they do happen. Every year, hundreds of passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists suffer injury or death when buses lose control and crash. Sometimes, this is caused by the careless and negligent behavior of the driver. Other times, another driver’s actions may have contributed to the accident. Other liable parties may include the bus company (on the grounds of negligent hiring or poor vehicle maintenance) or the manufacturer of defective bus systems or parts.
In any case, bus accidents are preventable, and those who cause them should be held accountable for the damage they have caused. Because bus companies and drivers have an extraordinary duty to ensure that they provide safe and reliable public transportation, they can be held liable for personal injury or wrongful death.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a bus accident, you have the right to pursue justice in the form of fair compensation. Hammers Law Firm offers complimentary initial case evaluations, so call us today to learn how our Atlanta personal injury lawyers can help you.

In the most serious accidents, a passenger may be thrown from the vehicle due to the lack of seatbelts. Ejections are nearly always fatal.
