You really need to contact a Rhode Island lawyer who does personal injury work. I think the question in the case will be whether accepted standards of care required the back doors to hold when you fell against them. Whichever Rhode Island lawyer you hire, if you need an expert on bus operations, the go to guy is Ned Einstein, with Transportation Altneratives. If you google him you should find him.
Good luck.
