BUS ACCIDENT ATTORNEY IN ALPHARETTA

While Alpharetta primarily serves as a suburban area within the Atlanta metropolitan region, several bus companies provide transportation services to and from the city. Some of the popular bus companies in and around Alpharetta may include:

• Greyhound
• Megabus
• Samson Tours
• Patriot Coach Lines

It is worth noting that school buses may also be involved in accidents, especially if driven by underqualified or negligent drivers. In that case, you may be able to file a claim against the Department of Public Safety Motor Carrier Compliance Division.

Bus accidents can result in various types of claims. This usually depends on the circumstances and the parties involved. Common types of bus accident claims our attorneys can handle include:

• Personal injury claims, which involve injuries to passengers on the bus, occupants of other vehicles involved in the accident, pedestrians, or cyclists.
• Wrongful death claims, usually filed when a bus accident leads to a fatality.
• Property damage claims, filed to recover compensation for damage to vehicles, personal belongings, or property caused by the bus accident.  
• Defective product claims (product liability) involving accidents caused by defective car parts.

The steps you take after a bus accident will ultimately determine how the entire situation plays out. As a general rule, your primary concern should be your health and safety. 

Seek immediate medical attention, even if you don't feel injured. From our experience handling traffic accident cases, we know for a fact that some injuries may not be immediately apparent. The last thing you want is to find yourself in a situation where you need medical treatment further down the road, but the insurance company refuses to pay because you can't prove the source of your injuries. 

Make sure you report the accident to the police. They will create an official accident report, which will further help substantiate your claim.

Gather information about the accident, including the bus company's details. You'll also need witnesses' contact information and videos or photos (or even both) of the accident scene if possible. 

Remember to preserve all evidence related to the accident, including medical records and bills. Lastly, contact Morgan and Morgan for a free case evaluation.
