Buses are large vehicles, and while they often travel at relatively slow speeds, they can still cause serious injuries if they are involved in collisions with other vehicles. In these cases, drivers or passengers in other vehicles may suffer harm, or passengers on a bus may be injured. Pedestrians or bicyclists can also be seriously injured if they are struck by a bus. When accidents involving school buses, city buses, or other public transportation vehicles occur, victims will need to understand who was responsible, and they can work with a personal injury lawyer to determine their best options for recovering financial compensation.
