Bus accidents can cause devastating injuries to passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers. Whether involving a city-run transit system, a school bus, or a private charter, these accidents often result in serious harm due to the sheer size and weight of the vehicle and the limited protection available to passengers.

The Unique Dangers of Bus Accidents in Virginia

Unlike passenger cars, buses often lack seat belts and other basic safety features. Riders may be standing, walking in the aisle, or seated without adequate restraint when a crash occurs.

This makes even minor collisions capable of causing significant injuries, including head trauma, broken bones, and spinal cord damage. Additionally, buses' high center of gravity and limited maneuverability increase the risk of rollovers and multi-vehicle collisions.

Pedestrians and cyclists are also at high risk when buses are involved. A turning city bus or a distracted driver can cause life-changing or fatal injuries to those who have no protection from the force of the impact. The consequences are often more severe in every scenario than in typical car crashes.

Why Bus Accidents Are More Complex

Filing a personal injury claim after a bus accident is not as straightforward as other vehicle collisions. When a public entity, such as Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) or a public school district, is involved, your case must follow strict rules and timelines under Virginia law.

Government agencies are protected by certain legal doctrines that limit their liability, and missing a filing deadline can mean losing your right to compensation entirely.

Even with private bus companies, multiple parties may be involved:

The driver
Their employer
A maintenance contractor
The bus manufacturer

Determining liability requires a thorough investigation and a legal strategy that can withstand the tactics of insurance companies and corporate defense teams.

Agnew Todd Injury Law PLLC has the resources and knowledge to navigate these challenges. We understand how to preserve key evidence, handle communications with multiple insurers, and pursue every avenue for financial recovery.
