For many, public transportation is the best way to get to and from their school or job. But accidents can happen anywhere, especially on public transportation. If you are wondering what constitutes a public transportation accident and how a Bradenton personal injury attorney can help, here is the information you need.

Types of Accidents

One of the common types of public transportation accidents in Florida is bus accidents. This is due to the number of people that are typically involved in a bus accident – drivers, passengers, and bystanders – all of whom can be the injured party. These include:

  • Injury to person or property outside of the bus
  • Damage to the bus itself
  • Injury to the bus driver
  • And injury to the passengers riding on the bus

The injuries suffered in one of these crashes can be as minor as a few cuts and bruises to significant damage like injury to the neck or spine. Public transportation accidents are also very likely to be fatal to at least one of the people caught up in them.

Florida is a no-fault state, which means that before any compensation for a bus crash in Florida can be sought from the people responsible for the crash, then they can pursue compensation. The compensation accrued will include medical bills, time lost from school or work, and damage to property.
