What Should I Do if I’m Injured by a Bus?

If you are riding a bus and get in an accident, your actions would mirror those you would take as a car passenger. Make sure you take care of your own injuries before trying to help others. Render aid if you are able, contact the authorities, and follow any instructions given to you by the bus driver. Once the police or EMTs arrive, follow their instructions to reduce the distractions and problems that might prevent someone from getting necessary care. This means putting your phone away when interacting with a CHP, the police, or a paramedic.

Should I Go to the Doctor?

Even if your injuries seem small or if you don’t think you have any, see a medical professional after an accident. Some injuries don’t appear right away. Don’t risk more serious problems or losing out on care you need. Make sure you get a full medical report from your medical practitioner and save it.

What Evidence Should I Gather?

Get whatever evidence is available safely. Take pictures of the scene. Make sure you capture all vehicles involved inside the bus or out, as well as the damage inflicted. If you overhear anything another driver says, write it down and ask if he or she will sign the document to indicate it is correct. Take inventory of your injuries as you discover them or if a medical professional like an EMT tells you of them. You should also check your personal belongings to note any damage to bags, electronics, strollers, carriers, glasses, or anything else.
