Public Transportation Injuries
Injuries on public transportation, such as buses, are fairly common. Injuries sustained on public transportation are quite similar to any other car accident in which the vehicle is insured for injuries caused by it. Accordingly, to recover for their injuries most parties sue under the theory of negligence, claiming the driver failed to exercise reasonable care.

There are certain things you can do to improve your chances of recovering for your injuries. Like any accident involving a motor vehicle, you should gather the following information: - Get the names and badge numbers of any drivers involved;
