Bus Accident Attorney in Tallahassee

The transport industry is worth billions of dollars. In a state like Florida, where there are about 59,851 registered buses, the fourth-highest in the country, bus companies tend to compete against each other. In the process, some may overlook other people’s safety while prioritizing profits. 

Some negligence-related cases of bus accidents in Tallahassee include but are not limited to:

• Inadequate driver training
• Failure to adhere to traffic laws
• Poor bus maintenance
• Defective bus parts or equipment
• Inadequate security measures on the busDriver fatigue due to working longer hours than legally required 
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Dangerous road conditions
• Improper loading or overcrowding
• Aggressive driving behavior

Buses are about 20 times larger than standard vehicles. Their size alone increases the severity of injuries passengers, drivers, or even pedestrians may sustain when such an accident happens. Some common bus accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries, potentially leading to paralysis
• Broken or fractured bones
• Internal injuries (e.g., internal bleeding, organ damage)
• Lacerations and severe cuts
• Amputations
• Burns
• Neck and back injuries
• Crush injuries
• Concussions
• Whiplash

Sometimes, these accidents can also lead to fatalities. In the unfortunate event that you lose a loved one, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party.
