Pedestrian Struck by Bus in Seattle

Even bus drivers with impeccable driving records can become involved in an injury accident. After a Washington bus accident has occurred, it is important to review every aspect of the crash. Investigators will have to search for answers to a number of questions, including:
- Was the bus driver distracted by something at the time of the crash?
- Did the driver fail to check the mirrors on the bus before changing lanes or entering traffic?
- Was the bus driver fully qualified to operate the bus?
- When was the bus last inspected? Was it properly maintained?
- Was speed, fatigue, alcohol, or roadway condition a contributing factor in the crash?
- Did the bus driver fail to properly yield the right-of-way?
Depending on the findings of the investigation, victims may be able to seek compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and other related damages. An experienced bus accident attorney will know how to hold the bus driver, the bus company, or other potentially liable parties accountable for all of the victim’s losses.
