Making use of a bus service, whether that be those operated by the municipality, school buses, or other privately-operated buses, it will be clear to you that this mode of transport offers a more affordable means of getting around Inglewood and nearby areas, as well as being more environmentally friendly than each of the passengers driving themselves from A to B. Of course, buses are simply larger road vehicles and, as such, can become involved in accidents and collisions from time to time. While bus accidents are significantly less frequent than car, motorcycle or other types of traffic accidents, there can be some serious and even fatal injuries inflicted when one does occur.
At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, our personal injury lawyers have over three decades of combined experience in successfully handling cases relating to bus accidents. While some bus accidents are, of course, genuine accidents, there are numerous others which happen only due to the negligent or deliberately dangerous actions of another motorist. If this applies in your case, we will do our utmost to ensure you recover the maximum compensation available to you.

As you may imagine, proving liability can quickly become complicated and, as such, is best left to a qualified, experienced, legal expert.
