Common Georgia Bus Accident Injuries
Because bus accidents are different, the injuries can also tend to be varying. While many injuries can be related to a collision just like any other auto accident, there are other accidents that are specific to buses. You can have a claim while you’re getting on or off the bus that may or may not be collision related. Those are still valid injury claims.
The types of injuries we typically see with bus accidents include:
- Dislocation
- Broken and/or fractured bones
- Traumatic brain injury
- Neck, head, or back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Whiplash
An important piece of a personal injury case is getting your injuries treated as soon as possible. It is the most important thing you can do for yourself so do not delay this. You should never ignore pain as you may end up dealing with a much more serious problem if it is not immediately treated. The insurance company will observe closely what you did following the accident and it can affect your compensation if you did not immediately seek treatment.
Bus accidents, such as public bus accidents and school bus accidents, can be incredibly dangerous for accident victims who suffer severe injuries. From broken bones to a traumatic brain injury, bus accident victims may need a long time to fully recover from the harm they have sustained.
Filing a bus accident lawsuit with the help of a bus accident attorney can help ensure victims recover maximum compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses caused by the crash. Our law firm is well versed with cases involving public transportation like buses.
Negligence is a major key to bus crash cases. If the bus driver is drunk, was texting while driving, or failed to adhere to traffic and safety laws when in control of a bus, it can be very likely that they were negligent.
If negligence on the part of the bus driver caused your accident, we will provide you with experienced legal representation and work diligently to determine how we can help you recover compensation for your injuries.
Our team of Augusta bus accident lawyers knows what it takes to build a strong personal injury case for our clients. From passengers to pedestrians, we can hold the negligent parties accountable for their actions and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

How Georgia Bus Compensation Works
If you have a serious injury from a bus accident, compensation can be available to you. You do need to understand some crucial bits on information when you seek compensation which is relating to your damages and injuries.
You get compensated for three things; past and future medical bills, past and future lost wages, and past and future pain and suffering. Some of it is easily calculated, other times it is difficult to put a number on these damages. The severity of your injury and the impact it has on your life will go into how much compensation you can get.
The bus insurance company is going to be an obstacle that you will have to face if you are seeking compensation. They are who you are asking for compensation. They understand that they can reduce your compensation or eliminate your claim altogether if they can get you to slip up and say something wrong during a recorded statement. Do not take their phone call without first speaking to your lawyer.
Also, you need to understand if they can pin blame on you, that can impact your compensation. If you are more than 50% at fault for the accident, you can be barred from receiving compensation. If you are less than 50% at fault, your compensation award can be reduced. By hiring a lawyer right away, you can avoid this happening to you.
