Bus Accident Attorney in Minneapolis

Bus Accident Victims May Be Entitled to Compensation

We do not hear of bus accidents as often as we do accidents involving cars, trucks, and even motorcycles. They do happen, however, and they can be devastating. If you've been involved in a bus accident, you know firsthand the pain that is involved, and you know the confusion that comes along with that pain.

Because you were not at fault, it is your right to seek compensation for the medical bills and other expenses that have resulted from the accident. You should not have to pay for the negligence of someone else; the damages can be so extensive that you could be paying financially and physically for the rest of your life. Fortunately, you have a bus accident attorney in Minneapolis who will work very hard for you.


Call Meshbesher & Associates at (612) 200-1526 or reach our Minneapolis bus accident lawyers online to learn more about how we can help you fight to recover just compensation after a serious accident.


What to Do if You Are Involved in a Bus Accident

If you are involved in a bus accident you should:

  • Move away from immediate danger
  • Call 911 and request an ambulance
  • Collect the other driver's contact information
  • Give a police statement and collect the officers badge number
  • If possible, gather witness statements
  • Seek professional medical assistance

It's also recommended that you avoid discussing the accident with the other drivers involved in the accident. You should also avoid talking to the insurance company until you have consulted an experienced bus accident attorney in Minneapolis near you.

Types of Bus Accidents

There are different types of bus accidents. They include:

  • Collision with a car or truck
  • Collision with a pedestrian
  • Collision with a bicycle
  • Collision with an object in which passengers are injured or killed
  • Driver error that leads to passengers being injured or killed
  • Mechanical defect that results in a crash

No matter the cause, your bus collision attorney in Minneapolis needs to pursue the negligent party on your behalf for the damages that have been done to you. You didn't ask to be injured, so you should be able to do something about it in some way.

Causes of Bus Collisions

There are many reasons why a bus accident could occur:

  • Blind spots
  • Speeding
  • Poor weather -- visibility, driving, and road conditions may be affected 
    Weight & size of the bus affects how the driver handles the bus as well as the safety of the passengers
  • Malfunction of equipment
  • Failure to maintain the bus and its equipment -- example: brake failure
  • Speeding
  • Failure to follow bus driver laws -- example: not following the hours of service or not taking breaks, leading to exhaustion during the shift
  • Grand Theft

If you or a loved one were involved in a serious bus crash, do not hesitate to reach out to a Minneapolis bus accident attorney at Meshbesher & Associates, P.A.

Bus Accident Injuries

The injuries can range from temporary to permanent. The injuries can include broken bones, fractures, head injuries, spine injuries, brain injuries, paralysis, and other forms of personal disability. No matter the injury, there are costs associated with treatment. For those with permanent disabilities, the financial impact can last a lifetime.

How Bus Accident Claims Work

Bus accident claims may consist of a number of damages. Of course, the damages sought will depend upon your particular case. For instance, an injury case will most likely consist of claims for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and emotional distress. If you have lost a loved one due to someone's carelessness, you can add loss of support and funeral expenses to the list. 

Do not rely on the insurance company of the negligent party to offer you compensation; it is rarely enough. They'll try to low ball the offer as much as they can. This is why you should contact your personal injury attorney before you ever talk to the other party's insurance company. If you have been injured in a bus accident due to someone else's negligence or you have lost a loved one in an accident, you need legal assistance as soon as possible.
