Bus Accident Causes

Bus accidents are often the result of bus driver negligence, though they can also occur because of faulty bus parts, insufficiently maintained buses, and other drivers. That said, the most common cause of bus accidents we see is negligent bus drivers. Bus accidents typically happen because of the following:

  • Ignoring blind spots
  • Driving while intoxicated
  • Distracted driving
  • Unsafely discharging passengers
  • Sudden starts and stops, or failing to wait until passengers are seated to drive away
  • Speeding
  • Failing to brake on time

Bringing a Notice of Claim

In the state of Florida, in most cases, people will have two years from the date of an accident to pursue financial compensation from the liable party. However, if you were injured on a publicly-owned bus, you will have to file a Notice of Claim in an even shorter period of time. You can help ensure everything is on time by simply speaking with an experienced Broward County bus accident lawyer today.

Our firm is here to help you gather and present all evidence needed to prove your personal injury claim. Some of the evidence we can use include:

  • Pictures of the accident
  • A copy of the police report filed at the scene of the accident
  • Medical documentation regarding your injuries
  • Surveillance footage or bus camera footage of the accident
  • Witness testimony corroborating your claim
