Bus Accidents

When you step on a bus, the last thing you think about is getting into an accident. Busses are large, lumber vehicles that are not legally required to have seatbelts for passengers. And while bus accidents are not as common as other types of motor vehicle collisions, when they do occur, they are often extremely serious. At the Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, our dedicated team of Charlotte personal injury lawyers has decades of experience aggressively pursuing maximum compensation on behalf of accident victims and their families. With our help, you can rest assured knowing that your case is in good hands.

Buses offer travelers an economical, convenient and scenic transportation option. They also provide an accessible form of transit for many communities. In spite of these benefits, we are truly putting our lives in the hands of transportation companies, bus manufacturers and bus drivers.

Any mistake can be devastating as we are at the mercy of a 40,000-pound vehicle that we have no control over. Bus accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death given the immense forces bus passengers are exposed to when an accident happens. Despite repeated requests from the National Transportation Safety Board, bus manufacturers still do not equip buses with seat belts, further putting passengers at risk.

Because a bus is a large vehicle and might be carrying a number of passengers, it has the potential to cause a serious collision that leaves many people injured. In these matters, it is important to work with a personal injury attorney who can get to the bottom of the cause of the bus accident in order to help you seek fair compensation for your injuries. If you or a loved one has been impacted by a bus accident, it is critical that you contact a personal injury attorney right away. When a bus accident occurs, many large organizations become involved, each looking to protect their own interest. You don’t want to be the small fish in a sea of sharks; pick up the phone and call the Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, to learn how we can help.

School buses carry our most treasured passengers. Yet, each year, there are hundreds of school bus accidents that result in injury—and even death. Personal injury cases involving school buses are especially complex because, often, the school district is responsible for operating the bus. As a government entity, a school district may claim that it is immune from liability, leaving an accident victim with nowhere to turn for answers. At the Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, we can aggressively advocate on your behalf to convince the government to do what’s right, and, if it refuses to, we will exhaust every possible alternative to get you and your family the compensation you deserve for what you’ve been through.
