Fatal Bus & Common Carrier Accidents More Than $175 Million Recovered | Over 30 Years of Experience

Los Angeles Fatal Bus Accident Attorney

Fighting for Justice After an Accident

In 2020, there were 4,998 fatal bus or large truck accidents, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA). In the same year, approximately 108,000 bus or large truck accidents resulted in serious injuries. Although the number of fatalities may seem relatively small in comparison to the number of people injured, our law firm understands that each and every death is a tragic event, and while nothing can bring back your loved one, you are entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship, society, care, support, and income.

Scott J. Corwin, A Professional Law Corporation, is here to help you and your family recover the compensation you need after the loss of a loved one in a city bus accident, school bus accident, or other common carrier accidents in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, Ventura or Santa Barbara County or elsewhere in California.

Contact our fatal bus accident lawyer in Los Angeles today to find out more about how we can help.

Wrongful Death Bus Accident Claims: What You Need to Know

Both state and federal laws strictly regulate the responsibilities of common carriers and assign appropriate liability when passengers are injured. California bus drivers, for example, are required to exercise the highest degree of care when transporting adults and children across the state — or even from one part of Los Angeles to another.

Unfortunately, negligence-related bus accidents still happen on a regular basis. They may involve a number of factors, including:

  • Distracted or fatigued bus drivers
  • Insufficiently trained bus drivers
  • Inadequate security aboard the bus
  • Improper vehicle maintenance
  • Outdated equipment or vehicles

The likelihood of suffering bus accident injuries is compounded by the frequent lack of seat belts and the fact that passengers are free to move around at will.
