11 Injured in Los Angeles Bus Accident

June 27th, 2011
Los Angeles Bus Accident

Bus accidents happen a lot more than you think they would.

Eleven people, including a pregnant woman, were injured in an accident involving a bus and car in Los Angeles yesterday.  According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the accident involved a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus and car.

The bus seems to have collided with a car when it made a left turn.  A total of 11 people were injured.  These injured persons included a pregnant woman, who was seriously injured.  The woman was in the bus, and her three children were with her.  Her children were also injured, but are reported to be in a fair condition.  Besides, a woman in the car was also injured.  At least five other passengers on the bus were injured, and had to be taken to the hospital.  According to police, the car was making a turn onto Seventh Avenue when it collided with the bus.

You don’t expect to be injured when you get on the bus, and yet, bus accidents occur in California with far greater frequency than we realize.  Most of these bus accidents don’t end with serious injuries, but many do leave passengers and drivers injured.  Fortunately, when you have been involved in a bus accident, you may be able to recover compensation from the parties responsible for the accident.

The first thing you need to do when you have been involved in a bus accident is to make sure that you as well as any loved ones who were on the bus receive the medical care that you need.  It’s important to make sure that you get proper treatment, and get a complete diagnosis of the kind of injuries you have suffered.  If the doctor recommends x-rays and other diagnostic tests to understand your injuries better, make sure that you take these.

Filing a California bus accident claim can be a whole different ball game from filing an auto accident claim.  In an auto accident, you’re dealing with another motorist, and things can get complicated.  However, when you are involved in a bus accident, it’s your word against the word of other parties involved, including commercial interests like the bus company, bus maintenance company, the employer of the driver, and a number of other parties.  The bus operator, for example has likely been involved in other accidents before, and has access to legal resources to minimize the liability of the company in the accident.  The legal team for these bus operators will kick into action as soon as the accident has occurred in order to minimize the liability and limit damages.

That’s why you need to consult with a Los Angeles bus accident attorney as quickly as possible.
