Generally, buses are a safe (and inexpensive) way to travel, but sometimes a driver's attention slips or a mechanical part fails. If something goes wrong, the results can be catastrophic. If you're hurt in a commercial bus accident, you may be entitled to recover damages from the bus's manufacturer or other parties. You will need the help of a personal injury lawyer with experience in pursuing your claims.
