Bus Accident Lawyers – Ottawa, Ontario

McNally Gervan is a leading personal injury law firm that handles serious physical injury claims arising from OC Transpo and bus accidents in the Ottawa area.

OC Transpo and Bus Accidents in Ottawa

The drivers and owners of buses and other means of public transportation are subject to the same laws and regulations as other drivers and car owners.

If you are injured while traveling on an Ottawa bus you may be entitled to medical, rehabilitation and income replacement benefits. If the bus you were traveling on was involved in a collision with another object (such as a vehicle, light post, or barrier wall), you will likely have benefits available to you through the City of Ottawa’s insurance company.

Even if your injuries were not caused as a result of the bus colliding with another object, you may still be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries, including loss of earnings, and medical expenses.

The personal injury lawyer team at McNally Gervan has represented and advised many people involved in serious bus and OC Transpo accidents, including the 2013 collision between a bus and a Via Rail commuter train and the Westboro Station bus accident. Our lawyers understand the system and are here to help accident victims with their personal injury claims fight for the compensation they deserve. Compensation for serious bus and OC Transpo accidents often includes damages for pain and suffering, past and future losses of income, and past and ongoing medical and rehabilitation costs.

    Common Questions About Ottawa Bus Accidents

    The amount you can receive through bus accident claims in Ottawa depends on the type and severity of your injuries, whether you qualify for statutory accident benefits, and the long-term impact on your life. Bus accident victims may recover medical benefits, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering through both accident benefits and a tort claim. 

    If you were injured in an accident involving an OC Transpo bus, school bus, or other public transit vehicle, an experienced personal injury lawyer from our team can guide you through the claims process, and can work closely with medical professionals to fully assess your needs, including future care and rehabilitation. Your entitlement will also depend on liability issues and the strength of your case under personal injury law.

    There is no fixed average payout for bus accident injury claims in Ottawa, as each case depends on the nature of the injuries, the extent of losses, and the applicable laws. Victims of bus accidents in Ottawa, just like those involved in pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, or others, may recover damages for lost wages, medical expenses, and long-term needs. 

    Our Ottawa bus accident lawyers assess the value of a case by reviewing medical attention records, lost income, and expert opinions from top medical professionals. Settlements or awards in Ontario court vary widely, with other litigation outcomes depending on liability, available insurance claims, and the injured person’s recovery.
