Quite often, following a bus accident, victims have no idea what happened or who caused the accident. In truth, many times following bus crashes, victims are quickly rushed off to a hospital before they can even begin gathering any evidence from the accident scene, talking to witnesses, or getting driver information. That is why determining fault following a bus accident can require a thorough investigation by a bus accident attorney.
At the Hughey Law Firm, our attorneys know what type of evidence is required to prove liability following these types of accidents. That is why once retained, we can get to work obtaining critical reports such as medical or police reports that can show what happened and who was at fault. Our lawyers can also interview others involved in the crash, such as other motorists, eyewitnesses, or passengers who could help us determine who was responsible for the accident.
If the bus accident resulted from a faulty part or a mechanical failure, we can also bring in an expert to conduct the investigation and figure out if certain entities were responsible for the defects and, consequently, the bus crash.
