Bus Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries
When buses are involved in traffic accidents, people can sustain severe injuries. Many buses are not equipped with seatbelts or other safety features found in many modern cars, which means that bus passengers are more susceptible to significant injuries when the buses in which they ride are involved in accidents.
Additionally, buses are much larger and weigh much more than most other vehicles. So, as a result, the force with which they can strike other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and others using the road can result in catastrophic injuries and property damage. For this reason, many bus accident cases involve settlements or awards well into the six and seven-figure ranges—meaning insurance companies often vigorously contest them.
It is essential to understand that when the stakes are this high, insurance companies and other companies who could potentially face liability are incentivized to use all of their resources to fight these cases. Therefore, it is imperative to retain experienced lawyers that can effectively fight against the tactics used by the best Las Vegas lawyers.
