Makiki bus collision injures 3 near McKinley High School HI

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Bus-related crashes often pose serious risks due to the size of the vehicle and limited driver visibility. Pedestrians, cyclists, and occupants of other vehicles are especially vulnerable in these incidents.

Multiple factors may contribute to such crashes, including driver distraction, fatigue, mechanical failure, and human error. In some cases, lack of training or experience in operating large vehicles can also be a factor. Nationwide, tens of thousands of bus-related crashes occur annually, resulting in significant injuries.

Candice Bond, an experienced bus accident attorney, stated that prompt independent investigation is critical in cases like this to protect victims’ rights.

“Bus accidents are often complex incidents involving multiple potential causes,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“A skilled attorney can help safeguard victims from large transportation companies that often deploy their own investigators immediately after a crash,” Bond explained.

“Legal counsel can assist by bringing in expert witnesses, reviewing driver histories, identifying witnesses, and analyzing insurance coverage while guiding victims through the legal process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the injured victims may have the right to pursue personal injury claims. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, noted that serious injuries can create overwhelming financial, emotional, and personal challenges.

“It is essential for victims to obtain legal representation when filing a personal injury claim so their attorney can negotiate directly with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies are often focused on minimizing payouts despite the financial burden on injured parties. An attorney can advocate for victims and help ensure they receive fair compensation for their losses.”
