SKIP TO CONTENTIf you’ve been involved in a bus accident in Oklahoma, taking prompt action is crucial. Bus companies are often aggressive in defending themselves and shifting blame, making it essential to act quickly to protect your rights.
Call the Police and File a Report
First and foremost, ensure that the police are called to the scene and a report is filed. This report will be a critical piece of evidence in your case. It documents the details of the accident and the statements of those involved, which can be invaluable for your claim.
Report Injuries to the Bus Company
Immediately report any injuries to the bus company. This step helps create an official record of your injuries and starts the process of holding the responsible parties accountable. The sooner you report your injuries, the better your chances of a fair settlement.
Gather Witness Information
One of the most important actions you can take is to collect the names and contact information of passengers or witnesses who saw the accident. Their statements can corroborate your version of events. For example, in a recent case, a client was involved in a collision where the bus driver claimed to have a green arrow. The client disputed this, asserting they had the right of way. Thankfully, the client had obtained contact information from a nearby passenger who confirmed the bus was at fault, which significantly strengthened the case.
