Common Causes of Bus Accidents in Akron

Due to their large size, buses are capable of creating a tremendous amount of force. Whether it collides with a car, a motorcycle, truck, or another vehicle, a bus has the potential to completely destroy anything with which it comes into contact.

Oftentimes, the accident could have been avoided if not for the recklessness or negligence of another person. When this is the case, knowing the cause of the accident is the first step to recovering compensation for your losses.

Causes that are often identified in bus accidents include, but are not limited to:

  • Exceso de velocidad
  • Switching lanes without yielding
  • Conducir bajo los efectos de las drogas o el alcohol
  • Mechanical issues
  • Driving while drowsy
  • Conducción distraída

Common Injuries in Bus Accidents

Since bus accidents commonly involve more force, the injuries sustained tend to be more severe. When smaller vehicles are involved in bus accidents, injuries can be significant. For this reason, bus accidents are considered to be extremely serious.

Injuries likely to result from a bus accident include:

Compensation After an Akron Bus Accident

When you are involved in a bus accident, you may pursue a personal injury claim if another person caused the accident. Insurance companies representing public schools or large organizations often discourage victims from seeking compensation for their injuries. You may be offered a low settlement or be intimidated into refraining from filing a lawsuit.

The best way to maximize the chance of your case being successful is by seeking the help of our dedicated legal team at KNR. Our bus accident attorneys can guide you through the entire process, ensuring you remain involved and informed.

What to Expect After an Akron Bus Crash

Losses that are often sought in Akron personal injury cases include, but are not limited to:

  • Gastos médicos
  • Limitaciones físicas
  • Desfiguración
  • Dolor y sufrimiento
  • Pérdida de ingresos
  • Loss of consortium, or loss of relationships

Buses are far more dangerous that most people realize. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 134 people are killed in school bus accidents every year. Of all bus accident victims, only 8 percent of the fatalities are represented by those actually riding the buses. Most of the fatalities in these accidents are drivers and passengers of other vehicles. For every person who is killed in a bus accident, many more receive injuries that gravely impact their lives.

If a person is killed in a bus accident, their surviving family members can seek the following through a wrongful death lawsuit:

  • Pérdida de ingresos
  • Pérdida de una herencia futura
  • Gastos de funeral y entierro
  • Pérdida de bienestar y de vida social

FAQs: Akron Bus Accidents

What Should I Do After a Bus Accident in Akron?

 

After a bus accident in Akron, seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries aren’t obvious. Report the incident to authorities—if it was an Akron Metro RTA bus, document the route, time, and driver info. Take photos, collect witness contact details, and contact a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and begin an investigation while evidence is fresh.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Bus Accident in Akron?

 

Liability in an Akron bus accident can fall on multiple parties, including the bus driver, the Akron Metro RTA or private bus company, maintenance contractors, or even another driver. Your attorney will review accident reports, safety records, and video footage to identify who’s responsible for your injuries and losses.

Are Bus Accident Claims Different from Other Injury Cases?

 

Yes. Bus accidents often involve government entities like Akron Metro RTA, which means special rules and shorter deadlines apply. You may need to file a notice of claim within months—not years—of the accident. A lawyer familiar with bus accident litigation in Summit County can help you meet all requirements and deadlines.

What Compensation Can I Recover After a Bus Accident?

 

Injured bus accident victims in Akron may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. If the accident involved gross negligence, additional damages may apply. A personal injury lawyer can assess your case value and negotiate with insurers or file suit if needed.

How Long Do I Have to File a Bus Accident Claim in Akron?

 

In Ohio, personal injury claims generally must be filed within two years. However, if a government agency like the Akron Metro RTA is involved, you may need to submit a formal notice of claim within six months. Speaking with an attorney right away helps ensure compliance and preserves your right to seek compensation.
