Who Is Accountable for Your Accident?

Buses are known as "common carriers". This means bus drivers, by law, are held to a higher level of responsibility than other drivers. They are expected to do all they can to avoid harm to passengers. In addition, bus companies are expected to adhere to the highest standards of maintenance and operational safety. Unfortunately, this does not guarantee your safety.

Accountability surrounding bus accidents is often complex. Depending on the cause of the accident, multiple parties may be responsible for what happened to you. These parties may include the driver, bus company, city/governmentor the manufacturing of the bus (or a component part which failed). At The Heller Law Firm, we have the knowledge and skill to help you hold those at fault liable for their actions.

Blaming Yourself Is Not the Answer

Sometimes, the hardest part about being involved in an accident is knowing it could have been prevented. Someone's careless actions resulted in your pain and suffering. It is easy to think of the "if only's" — If only I had taken a different route. If only I had been one minute earlier or later. If only…

You must remember — this was not your fault.

The consequences of a bus accident are devastating, not only physically, but financially and emotionally as well. Taking legal action cannot erase what took place, but obtaining a financial recovery can help to ease some of your worries. To take the first step, contact us on-line or by calling 800-992-9947.

The Heller Law Firm will be with you all of the way.
