Most people are unaware, but if you are injured in an accident, and even if you are only a passenger, you can still make a claim for personal injuries sustained as a result of the accident. However, if you are a passenger that is injured in a car accident, you may file a claim against any party that was negligent in causing the action, including your own driver! In the case above, if the bus driver was the at fault party for the accident, and you were a bus passenger that got injured, you could file a claim for personal injuries against the bus driver for their negligence in causing the accident, and your injuries.
Luckily, in the case above, it appears that none of the parties aboard the bus had any complaints of injuries. However, if any of the parties involved in the accident did have complaints of injury, they would be able to sue and file a complaint against the at-fault parties responsible for the accident.
