Leading Georgia Bus, Train and Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer

The Impact of Commercial Transportation Accidents

Statistically, crashes involving commuter transportation or "common carriers" are rare. This type of transportation includes school buses, MARTA buses, mass transit, commuter trains, AMTRAK trains, subways, airplanes, charter buses and long-distance carriers. However, when accidents involving this type of transportation do occur, results can be much more serious than with a passenger car. Buses and railcars carry many people and they almost never have seatbelts creating dozens of potential victims in the event of an accident. In a serious Georgia bus or train accident, this can mean often highly preventable tragedy. Charles Scholle is an Atlanta, Georgia lawyer with significant expertise in representing the victims of serious accidents involving catastrophic injury.

Some common injuries resulting from commercial vehicle accidents can include:

• Wrongful death
• Burns
• Back injury
• Head injury
• Paralysis
• Fractured bones
• Neck injury
• Brain injury
• Spine injury
• Disc Injuries
  
• Internal injuries
• Scars requiring plastic surgery
• Children Injuries

Of course, victims suffer different types of injury, often depending on the type of auto accident in which they are involved.

Bus and other commercial vehicle crashes are a hazard to passengers as well as to pedestrians and others in smaller vehicles. Buses and many other commercial vehicles are large and heavy, so that just as in truck accidents extra weight means extra force and greater damage on impact - which can result in death or very serious injury.

Bus accidents and other accidents involving commercial vehicles pose special legal challenges, because they involve businesses or governmental with greater accident resources and experience than the average commuter. Bus companies, transit agencies or other controlling organizations can get a head start investigating and dealing with the accident, while victims and their families are still recovering.

Many government entities enjoy what is called "sovereign immunity" which limits the extent to which they have to pay for injuries to passengers. They, and their insurance companies, may also be willing to go to great lengths to avoid paying a penny more to victims than they have to. But you can get protection.
