Harrisburg, York Pennsylvania Bus Accident Attorney

About Bus Accidents

Using mass transit and public transportation is a common mode of transportation for many people in Pennsylvania.  With the growth in our area in the past few years, commuting has become more cost-effective for most individuals.  Many people in the Harrisburg and York areas use buses as their primary form of transportation during the week.  With so much use of this form of public transportation, accidents do occur.  If you or a loved one has been involved in a bus accident that resulted in injuries, it is important that you contact a bus accident attorney who has the experience and skill you need with these types of accidents and can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Bus accidents can occur for a variety of reasons.  At Colgan Marzzacco, we have helped people who were struck by a bus while walking in the city or crossing the street (pedestrian cases) and where people were injured while riding in the bus (passenger cases) either because of the bus driver's negligence or because of other drivers' negligence.  Driver inattention, lack of proper training in operating a bus, or failing to follow traffic laws can all lead to collisions, roll-overs and other serious accidents.   In some cases, improper maintenance of the bus or a defective mechanical part somehow cause an accident.  Whether you sustained an injury as a passenger, driver or as a pedestrian struck by a bus, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your losses.  Buses are considered "common carriers."  As such, very strict regulations govern their maintenance and operation.  Buses and bus companies have a duty to provide safe passage to their passengers.  If, through their negligence, they have failed to provide safe passage, you may have the right to pursue compensation.  Attorney Christopher Marzzacco of Colgan Marzzacco has experience in dealing with common carrier laws and the rights of those injured by them. 

Many of our local school children also use school buses to get and from school every day.  Unfortunately, buses are not required to have seat belts, which can lead to serious, permanent injuries in collisions and roll-over accidents.  If you or a loved one has been involved in a bus accident that resulted in injuries, it is important that you contact a bus accident attorney who has the experience and skill you need with these types of accidents and can help you get the compensation you deserve.
