Minnesota Bus Accident Attorneys

Thousands of people every year are injured while riding on buses or other forms of mass transit. Not surprisingly, the injuries suffered can range from the minor to catastrophic. When you or a loved one is injured while riding on a bus or light rail train, whether through the negligence of the operator or another driver, compensation is available.  Similarly, if you are injured due to the negligence of a bus driver or other mass transit operator while a pedestrian, while on a bike, or while in another motor vehicle, you are entitled to compensation. 

To a large extent, these claims are like any motor vehicle accident in that you have a claim for No Fault benefits and a claim for general damages.  There are some important differences, however, due to the fact that these accidents involve common carriers and are, therefore, subject to greater regulations and higher standards of care than are ordinary drivers.  Priority issues involving No Fault insurance (who pays medical bills and wage loss) differ in a mass transit case.  Finally, if you were involved in an accident involving commercial, interstate bus travel, different laws may apply to your claim and different avenues of recovery may be available to you.

Many factors are involved in a bus or light rail accident, and it is crucial to get an investigation underway promptly in order to establish liability and make sure that all responsible parties are held accountable.
