Celebrity Tour Buses Get into Accidents, Too

Los Angeles is a prime tourist destination for those who loves movies and Hollywood. There are many things to do to capture a glimpse at the glamorous lives of stars, including celebrity bus tours. Buses drive around Hollywood neighborhoods while tour guides point out notable homes belonging to past and present stars, creating a fun and light experience.

However, buses can get into accidents like any other vehicle. Just last summer, a celebrity tour van carrying 11 passengers was struck by another vehicle from behind, pushing the van into another car. Nearly a dozen people were injured, and the driver of the tour van was arrested for driving under the influence.

What to Do After a Bus Accident

If you’ve been involved in a bus accident, there are a number of steps you should take if you want to make a personal injury claim. The first priority is your well-being – if you’ve been injured, seek medical attention immediately, and document your injuries by taking photos and saving doctor’s notes. Injuries resulting from bus accidents can be minor and include bruises, whiplash, and sprains or fractures, as well as serious, including brain and head trauma, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, and sometimes, death.

When present at the scene of the accident, document the witness accounts, take photos of the bus and property damage, and take the police report. All evidence can be used by a team of experienced personal injury lawyers to determine liability and prevent those responsible from getting away.
