Home / San Francisco Bus Accident Lawyer
Buses are a convenient and affordable option for transportation. As of now, San Francisco has 41 local bus routes available for people to use. It offers 4 rapid and 1 express routes, as well. These bus services are expected to provide a duty of care to a passenger once they step foot onto the vehicle. However, multiple factors, such as negligent drivers or road hazards, could impact the outcome of a bus ride. If either factor does, in fact, cause the bus driver to get into an accident, then the party at-fault will be held liable for damages.
If a bus driver is involved in an accident due to a defective bus, the company and/or manufacturer may be held accountable for any losses caused by their negligence. Since California is identified as a comparative fault state, more than one party can be responsible for an accident. Liability will be divided based on the degree of negligence committed by each party involved.
If you are a victim of a bus accident and would like to pursue legal actions against the party at-fault, West Coast Trial Lawyers has experienced San Francisco bus accident attorneys who will get you the justice and compensation you deserve.

In San Francisco, multiple factors have contributed to the cause of a bus accident, such as:
People may endure mild to severe injuries after a bus accident. This includes the following:
If you were injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are intended to compensate a plaintiff for losses that a dollar amount can readily be attached to. Economic damages are calculated by determining the amount of out-of-pocket losses an aggrieved individual has or will expect to incur as a result of their injuries. A few examples of economic losses include loss of earning capacity, medical bills, and lost wages.
Non-economic damages are essentially intended to cover losses that are thought of as subjective and will not necessarily cover out-of-pocket losses. Non-economic damages may include compensation for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
The third type of damages a California court may award are known as punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended as punishment and are only awarded when a defendant’s behavior is especially harmful. It is relatively rare and has only been incorporated in 5 percent of all verdicts. Furthermore, there is no real set standard for calculating and awarding punitive damages. It is awarded at the court’s discretion and will vary depending on the specific circumstances of a case.
