EXPERIENCED BUS ACCIDENT LAWYERS HELPING VICTIMS IN YOUR AREA

Bus accident settlements often settle for larger dollar amounts because of the insurance requirements for commercial truck carriers.

Bus companies have teams of attorneys protecting their interests and will attempt to get accident victims to either drop their cases or settle for much less.

The reality is that many truck accident cases require a personal injury lawsuit to obtain sufficient compensation for your injuries.

Injury victims should contact an experienced bus accident injury attorney immediately after an accident. An experienced lawyer understands the rules and regulations in the bus industry and can uncover any potential bus driver or busing company violations.

Accident attorneys are experienced in dealing with difficult insurance companies and know how they try and get out of paying for a victim's injury claims.

When filing a lawsuit, the victim may not know who is responsible for causing the accident. In most cases, the lawsuit will name every potential defendant who may have had a role in causing the accident.

The Defendants Can Include:

• Bus Driver
• Bus Company
• Bus Lessee
• Bus Manufacturer
• Bus Owner
• Insurance Company
• Bus Parts Manufacturer
• Other Drivers
• City or County Government

Bus Company Fault

Bus companies sometimes intentionally or recklessly, violate transportation regulations and safety requirements to meet deadlines and increase their profit margins. Even if a bus driver is responsible for causing the accident, the bus company may still be liable for the negligence of their own employee. 

Information collected at the scene of an injury accident can be crucial to you getting financial compensation. You should always request the contact information of all parties involved in your accident should your lawyer need to contact them.

• Name of Bus Driver

• Insurance Information of the Driver
• Phone Number of Bus Driver
