Imperial Valley Public Transportation Accident Attorney 

Whenever there are a large number of pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicles sharing the roads, someone is likely to get hurt.  This especially holds true when bikers and pedestrians must use the same streets and intersections as public transportation drivers.  While many pedestrian and bicycle accidents involve cars and trucks, a great deal also involve collisions with public transportation vehicles, such as buses. 

In the state of California, there is a high volume of public transportation vehicles on the road at any given time, which means that fatal collisions with bikers and walkers are likely if public transit drivers are not cautious.  Unfortunately, there are many reported cases where these drivers remain inattentive, act negligently, and cause injuries to innocent people.

Who is Liable for Public Transportation Accidents?

If a bicyclist or pedestrian is hit by a public transportation vehicle, numerous people may be held liable.  First, if the public transportation vehicle driver was reckless, he or she may be held accountable.  Second, if the public transportation vehicle had defects which led to the accident occurring, the municipality (city, state or town) may be held liable.  Finally, if another motor vehicle driver was negligent and caused the public transportation accident, he or she may be held responsible by injured parties.  Once negligence and/or fault have been established, injured victims may file personal injury lawsuits to collect damages for their injuries.
