North Carolina Bus Accident Attorneys
Vigorously Advocating for Your Rights Since 1997
Bus accidents can result in serious injury to those involved, from injuries that require days or weeks off work/school to those that upend your life for the long term. If you have found yourself in such unfortunate circumstances due to no fault of your own, you could recover compensation for your losses, or “damages” in legalese, through a civil lawsuit.

Common Causes of North Carolina Bus Accidents
One of the first steps in taking legal action is to identify who and what caused the bus accident in which you were injured. Negligent parties may include bus drivers, other motorists, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and even pedestrians. If defective bus parts were involved, a bus manufacturer, designer, or retailer may be liable. Similarly, a government entity could be liable if the bus or roads were poorly maintained or if the bus driver was an insufficiently trained government employee.
Common causes of bus accidents for which the bus driver may be held liable include:
- Speeding
- Driving while drowsy
- Driving under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription drugs
- Driving recklessly or without any regard for the safety of others
- Texting and driving or other forms of distracted driving
- Transporting more passengers than what is safe
If you know or have reason to believe that any of the above forms of liability exist, contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal options.
Prove Liability, Recover Compensation
Accident victims who can establish liability in court may recover compensation for the damages they have accumulated, such as:
- Medical and hospital bills
- Disability costs and accommodations
- Loss of earnings/future earning capacity
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
However, accident victims often have trouble recovering their full compensation even when they can prove liability. This is because at-fault parties almost never own up to what they have done, attempting to either deny their wrongdoing altogether or pay less than what they owe. At Lanier Law Group, P.A., our trial lawyers will fight tooth and nail to protect you from being shortchanged and wrongfully blamed for the accident.
