In most cases, buses in Ohio – even school buses – are not equipped with seatbelts. When you combine this with the fact that buses are large vehicles, the chances of an accident causing serious, even fatal injuries, are increased. Common bus injuries include brain and spinal cord injuries, burns, sprains, fractures, abrasions, internal and soft tissue injuries, and concussions. For many bus accident victims, it could be months or even years before they fully recover from their injuries. It is essential for the victims of bus accidents to obtain the compensation needed to cover medical bills for surgeries and rehabilitation, lost wages while they are unable to work, and money to get to replace or repair their motorcycle.

The bus accident lawyers at Wright & Schulte LLC have successfully represented hundreds of Ohioans injured in serious bus accidents, including those involving:

• Bus driver fatigue
• Inadequate training of drivers
• Lack of driving experience by drivers
• Driver negligence, such as speeding or aggressive driver either on the part of the bus driver or the driver of another vehicle
• Poorly maintained or dangerous roads
• Poor bus maintenance
• Defective equipment on the bus, particularly safety equipment and location and positioning of side mirrors
• Overloaded buses

Issues of liability in bus accidents can be difficult to sort out. In addition to the bus driver or other drivers on the road, bus line operators, bus manufacturers, and other third parties responsible for the crash. Special liability issues crop up when a bus is owned or operated by a municipal authority or a school district.
