Whether the injured party is a passenger on the bus or in another vehicle, bus accidents can result in devastating injuries. It is possible to sustain multiple debilitating injuries in an accident, some of which can result in permanent disabilities. When a bus strikes another vehicle, it can potentially roll over, causing even more injuries. Depending on the speed and severity of the crash, those involved in a bus accident can sustain the following injuries:
Broken or fractured bones
Whiplash
Neck and back sprains
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord damage
Such injuries can prevent a person from working and living a normal life. They can also result in a person needing around-the-clock medical care for the rest of their life. If a bus driver or company is responsible for causing such injuries, they can be held liable by a Baldwin bus accident lawyer.
