Falling While Leaving or Entering a Bus
Unfortunately, bus accidents – specifically falls on the bus – are very common. Did you fall when exiting or entering a bus? Falls while leaving or getting on to a bus are among the most common.
Some of the most common reason behind these falls include the following:
- Slippery steps when entering or exiting bus (missing weather mat and/or no warning)
- Trash littering the entrance/exit
- Bus driver failing to come to a complete stop (slowing down but not stopping)
- Bus driver stopping at an odd distance from the curb
- Obstacles blocking the entrance/exit
- Sudden acceleration while entering/exiting the bus
Any of these can potentially lead to unsuspecting bus riders to fall while they are just trying to get on or get off the bus. Unfortunately, a number of injuries are likely to occur because of these bus accidents.

Can You Sue?
Do you have the right to sue if you or a member of your family suffered a fall while getting on or getting off of a bus? Yes, you could have grounds to sue. In terms of bus accidents and bus injuries, specifically, it is important to note that passengers are owed the highest duty of care. This is because bus companies (like MTA), bus line operators, and their drivers are considered common carriers. Common carriers have to exercise the highest duty of care and diligence for the safe transport of passengers. In other words, they have to ensure that their passengers are safe from the moment that they get on their vehicle to the moment that they get off.
Because of this, passengers that fall while entering or exiting a bus could have the right to sue.
What if the accident occurred on a city bus? If your fall occurred while entering or exiting a city bus, you could file a government claim against the city bus company.
