Atlanta Bus Accident Lawyer

Pursuing Justice for Our Clients

Similar to tractor-trailer trucks, buses are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.  Bus drivers are to be properly trained and there are specific bus safety standards to be adhered to.  If the training or mandatory driving hours are deficient, if maintenance is not regularly and properly performed, accidents can and do occur.  Due to the size of buses, crashes can be severe, leaving both passengers and others injured.  In extreme cases, a bus accident can be the cause of a wrongful death.  If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident, seek the help of a knowledgeable Atlanta personal injury attorney.

In pursuing fair compensation for bus accident victims, we analyze all evidence for your claims and gather additional information as needed.  Statements from eye witness, law enforcement reports, maintenance reports for buses and evidence regarding driving training can all prove to be key information to support your claim.  At Van Sant Law, LLC, we are passionate in ensuring that our clients receive the full compensation they are entitled to.  In some cases, the bus company can be legally liable for damages.  In others, improper design or manufacture of a bus can lead to an award of damages from the company that produced the bus.
