Minnesota Bus Accidents Attorney / Lawyer

 

Traveling by bus and school bus is in general, very safe. Typically, the bus is a large and very heavy vehicle that offers some protection for the occupants. However, buses do not have common safety features such as seat belts and air bags. In an accident the passengers and their belongings are thrown about. Inevitably, this results in injuries to the occupants. Children are especially vulnerable in a bus accident. In many situations, accidents occur when people are getting on or off the bus, when they are crossing the street, or when the bus is in motion. As a professional driver, all bus drivers are held to a higher standard when driving a bus.

Unfortunately, the number of school bus crashes is increasing each year. In 2008 there were 663 bus accidents in the state of Minnesota. Four resulted in deaths of children between the ages of 10 through 14. The bus driver’s insurance company is responsible for compensating victims of the accident for their losses.

In most situations, you will have to deal with two different insurance companies. One insurance company is yours and another will represent the party at fault in your accident. Both insurance companies, with their large number of claims adjusters and their defense attorneys, will do everything they can to keep you from obtaining justice and reasonable compensation for your injuries. Adjusters and defense attorneys are hired to protect the insurance company’s pocketbook, not yours. Do not give either of them a statement. You can co-operate without giving a statement. You could make a mistake telling your side of the story. Get plenty of pictures as soon as possible. Pictures reveal what happened.
