Our Mountain View Bus Accident Attorneys Protect Your Rights In Filing A Claim 

The National Safety Council (NSC) warns that more than 500,000 yellow school buses are on the road each day, picking up and dropping off children throughout the country. Accidents involving these vehicles alone injure nearly 15,000 people annually. When you add in the large numbers of private charters and public transportation, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) estimates that the number of people impacted by bus accidents reaches close to 100,000 per year.  

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we protect the rights of injured victims and their families, helping them get the total amount of compensation they need to recover in a claim. Cases our Mountain View bus accident attorneys represent include:  

• Multi-vehicle bus accidents, in which a bus crashes into other buses, trucks, or motorists; 
• Single vehicle bus accidents, such as rollovers or collisions with fixed objects; 
• Onboard bus passenger accidents, such as being struck by objects or thrown from your seat; 
• Bus station or bus stop accidents, such as slips and falls; 
• Bus pedestrian and bicycle accidents, which can happen anywhere along bus routes.    

What Causes Bus Accidents In Mountain View?  

Residents in our area have numerous options when it comes to bus service. In addition to school buses and private charters, Mountain View transit and shuttle services travel throughout our community and allow travel throughout the Bay area, with easy access to transfers that can take you to further destinations.    

While the bus provides a convenient and cost-effective way to commute or run errands, there are certain risks. Bus accidents can happen due to a variety of causes. Among the most common:  

• Reckless driving, either on the part of the bus driver or other motorists involved; 
• Recklessness on the part of other bus company employees, such as failure to adequately monitor routes or assist passengers;  
• Mechanical failures, causes by lack of maintenance and defects in tires, brakes, engine systems, or other parts; 
• Bus company negligence, such as not properly training bus drivers or failing to check safety records.  

Determining all of the contributing causes in a bus accident often proves challenging and can impact your rights in filing a claim. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Mountain View bus accident attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation into your case and determine exactly who is to blame.  

How Do I File A Mountain View Bus Accident Claim?  

If you are injured in a Mountain View bus accident, make sure an accident report is filed and seek medical care right away. Also, get names and contact information for everyone involved, as you will need this to file a claim.  

Insurance policies the bus company has in place may cover some of your damages. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team can aggressively negotiate with insurance claims adjusters and attorneys representing others involved to get you the best possible settlement. If your claim is disputed, your injuries are severe, or multiple people are to blame, we will not hesitate to file a bus accident lawsuit on your behalf. The compensation you may be entitled to in your claim includes:  

• Coverage of all current and future medical costs related to your injuries; 
• Reimbursement for lost wages and any future losses in earnings you are likely to suffer; 
• Compensation for pain, mental anguish, scarring or disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment in life; 
• Exemplary or punitive damages, an additional amount designed to punish those at fault for particularly willful and negligent behavior.
