Our legal team will help you get the full compensation that you deserve for the injuries that you have suffered.

Common Causes of Airport Shuttle Accidents

Airport shuttle companies and their employed drivers are legally responsible for the safety and security of their passengers. The shuttle services, like FlyAway, Super Shuttle, Roadrunner, DASH, Prime, and Go Fly, are often in a rush to get their passengers to the airport on time. Although this may be a benefit to the riders, it is also a detriment because it makes the shuttles more prone to getting into accidents.

Some common causes of airport shuttle crashes include:

• The shuttle’s higher center of gravity, resulting in rollover accidents
• Excessive speeding
• Driver negligence which includes failing to obey traffic signs and signals
• Alcohol or drug-impaired driving
• Distracted driving
• Lack of proper training for drivers
• Licensing
• Defective vehicles and components

Who Is Liable in an Airport Shuttle Accident

Different factors play a role in the cause of airport shuttle accidents. This makes it imperative to properly investigate the facts of your accident to determine exactly what caused the accident and all possible parties that may be responsible and liable for your injuries. You should immediately hire an experienced Anaheim airport shuttle accident attorney to handle your claim to make sure your legal rights are protected.

Airport shuttle accident claims are generally more complicated as compared to regular motor vehicle accident claims. Commuter shuttle companies are classified as “common carriers,” giving them a more heightened duty to ensure the safety of their passengers during the ride. The legal team at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas takes every step necessary to make sure all parties responsible for your airport shuttle accident is held accountable. Depending on the specific facts of your case, our investigation will include:  

• Studying the scene of crash 
• Interviewing witnesses 
• Examining the vehicles involved
• Viewing onboard videos
• Combing through police reports and shuttle bus maintenance records

Common Airport Shuttle Accident Injuries & Compensation

• Closed head injuries and traumatic brain injury (TBI)

• Spinal cord injuries 
• Whiplash and other back and neck injuries
• Soft tissue injuries

Depending on the specific facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Regardless of what type of injury you suffered as a result of the negligence of an airport shuttle driver or company, you have every right to file a lawsuit against the liable parties and are entitled to compensation.

Filing a Lawsuit to Get Compensation for Your Airport Shuttle Accident Injuries

Airport shuttle accidents can be complicated. Unlike most simple accident claims, you may need to file a lawsuit to clear liability or get the maximum compensation you deserve for your injuries. This is why it is important to hire an Anaheim airport shuttle accident attorney to handle your case.
