Bus rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of passenger transportation crashes. When a large bus rolls over, passengers may be thrown from seats, struck by the interior of the bus, crushed, trapped, ejected, or seriously injured by broken glass, collapsing structures, and emergency exit failures.
A bus rollover accident lawyer can investigate whether the crash was caused by driver error, unsafe speed, fatigue, distracted driving, improper steering, tire failure, brake problems, poor maintenance, dangerous roadway conditions, defective vehicle design, or a company that failed to safely plan and supervise the trip.
Why Bus Rollovers Are Different
A bus is taller, heavier, and capable of carrying many more passengers than a normal car. A rollover can injure multiple people at once and may involve commercial carriers, school districts, charter companies, tour operators, churches, casinos, public transit authorities, maintenance contractors, manufacturers, and several insurance companies.
Bus rollover cases may involve questions such as:
Common Injuries in Bus Rollover Crashes
Bus rollovers can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, broken bones, crush injuries, burns, amputations, internal injuries, severe lacerations, emotional trauma, and wrongful death.
Evidence Needed After a Bus Rollover
Important evidence may include the bus itself, tire and brake components, electronic control module data, GPS data, driver logs, inspection reports, maintenance records, onboard video, passenger statements, crash reconstruction evidence, company safety policies, photographs, and prior repair records.
