Bus Accidents
Being involved in a collision with a bus can be catastrophic. Because of their immense size and weight, buses can cause much more extensive damage than car-on-car collisions. If you or a loved one was involved in an accident with a bus, it’s very likely that serious, even catastrophic injuries were sustained.
When this is the case, you may be able to hold the driver of the bus or the bus company accountable. Commercial vehicle operators, including bus drivers, are subject to certain rules and regulations to ensure the reasonable safety of those around them. When a bus driver or company acts negligently with devastating results, they should be held liable. The skilled Mississippi personal injury attorneys at Kilpatrick & Philley, Attorneys at Law have years of experience dealing with these types of cases. They can use their in-depth knowledge of state commercial vehicle laws to fight for fair compensation on your behalf.

Types of Injuries Bus Accidents can CauseWhen a bus is involved in a traffic accident, the effects are typically much more severe than regular auto accidents. Because of their size and inability to stop as quickly as a car, buses usually hit other vehicles with immense force, causing extensive damage and acute injury.
Catastrophic injuries that can result from a bus accident include:
- Back/spinal cord injury
- Broken bones
- Loss of limbs
- Head/brain injury
- Internal injuries
- Paralysis
- Death
Extensive, long-lasting injuries and death cause extreme undue physical and emotional harm for victims and their families. An experienced Mississippi bus accident lawyer can determine if you are owed financial reparation after an accident to help with medical bills, pain and suffering, and even funeral costs. While it won’t fully negate the suffering you are experiencing, fair compensation can help ease the burden after an unexpected bus accident.
