Philadelphia Bus Accident Lawyer

Injured in a bus accident in Philadelphia County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County or Chester County Pennsylvania? Personal injury attorney Thomas J. Murphy may be able to help you recover the financial compensation you need for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and more. By effectively representing your interests, proving the negligence of the bus driver or other party and showing that you were not at fault, attorney Murphy can work to maximize your financial recovery.

Bus accident claims may be increasingly complex. They may require your lawyer to deal with SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Public Transit Authority), a school or perhaps a private company that operates a bus service. Facing off against one of these adversaries in negotiations or in civil court can prove to be time-consuming and difficult. Philadelphia bus accident attorney Thomas Murphy has the necessary experience (over 20 years worth) as well as the resources to fully investigate your case and therefore represent your interests aggressively and effectively. By preparing every case for court, our firm shows the other party that we mean business. This often helps us work out a successful out of court settlement.

Negligence in Philadelphia Bus Accident Cases

What are some common causes of bus accidents? How do these relate to negligence? A bus driver may be inexperienced, under the influence of alcohol, distracted or simply tired. This can lead to a deadly mistake when he or she is driving innocent passengers. The bus itself may be improperly maintained and therefore suffer mechanical failure while in transit. The bus company may not perform thorough background checks on its employees and therefore hire a driver with a poor driving record or even a criminal record.

As your bus accident lawyer, Thomas J. Murphy can investigate the situation that led to your accident. He will work to get to the bottom of it and determine exactly what person or entity can be held responsible, then pursuing maximum financial compensation on your behalf from that party.
