Bus Accidents in Virginia
Virginia’s roadways see a wide variety of vehicle types, and accidents involving buses can lead to significant injuries for passengers, drivers, and other road users. While buses are generally safe, collisions involving them can be severe due to their size and the number of passengers they typically carry.
Victims of bus accidents often face unique challenges. Below are some common impacts:
- Passenger Injuries: Injuries on buses can be significant, especially since many buses do not have seat belts. Passengers may suffer from head injuries, fractures, or whiplash during a collision.
- Medical Costs: Victims may require emergency care, follow-up treatments, and physical therapy, creating a financial burden for them and their families.
- Complicated Claims: Filing a claim after a bus accident can be more complex than a typical car accident case, as public transportation authorities or private companies may be involved.
- Emotional Distress: For victims, being involved in a bus accident can lead to anxiety or fear of public transportation, requiring additional counseling or therapy.
