Your Orlando Bus Accident Lawyer

You expect to be safe when using public transportation, yet every year people are injured in Florida bus accidents. The Main Law Firm helps clients identify insurance policies to compensate them for their medical bills and other losses.

Until recently, the maximum amount of recovery from insurance covering a public bus was $100,000 per person and $200,000 per accident for victims injured in a public bus accident in Florida. If the accident or injury involved a Lynx Bus or County school bus accident, one of the most important sources of compensation for the victim was his or her uninsured motorist coverage on a motor vehicle insurance policy.

Effective October 1, 2011, the sovereign immunity limits in Florida were raised for the first time in 30 years to $200,000.00 per person / $300,000.00 per incident.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents in Orlando

Bus accidents in Orlando can occur for a variety of reasons, each potentially leading to serious injuries or damages. Understanding these common causes can help identify the liable parties in a bus accident case:

  • Driver Error: The most frequent cause of bus accidents is errors made by the bus driver, such as speeding, fatigue, or other negligent behaviors.

  • Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Buses that are not regularly maintained can have mechanical failures, such as brake failures or tire blowouts, which can lead to accidents.

  • Roadway Conditions: Poor road conditions, including potholes, inadequate lighting, and unmarked hazards, can cause a bus driver to lose control of the vehicle.

  • Weather Conditions: Orlando’s frequent rainstorms and slick roads can make driving a bus more challenging and increase the likelihood of accidents.

  • Other Drivers: The actions of other motorists, such as cutting off a bus, erratic driving, or failing to yield the right of way, can also cause accidents.

  • Lack of Safety Measures: In some cases, the lack of adequate safety protocols by the bus company, such as not providing seat belts or overcrowding the bus, can contribute to the severity of injuries in an accident.
