Bus accidents can lead to severe or fatal injuries. Scores of bus accidents occur every year and may involve school buses, city buses, private buses, charter buses, or church buses.

Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers is one of the region’s most trusted personal injury law firms. We offer top-tier legal representation to injured individuals and their families.

Bus Passengers: Types of Injuries

If you or a loved one was a passenger on a bus and sustained injuries in an accident, it is time to seek justice for what occurred. Parents of children injured in a school bus accident face an arduous and emotional journey when seeking to hold the responsible parties accountable. The bus accident may have involved a rollover, collision, or other dangerous accident. Passengers are often thrown around the cabin on impact, leading to severe injuries, including but not limited to the following:

Broken bones
Head injuries
Brain injuries

Spinal cord injuries
Cuts, lacerations, abrasions
Sprains, strains, muscle damage

Disfiguring injuries
Internal injuries
Loss of life

Other Drivers

Drivers and their passengers in a regular vehicle, SUV, truck, or van may sustain very serious or fatal injuries. A bus can weigh from 15,000 to more than 36,000 pounds—and may crush a passenger vehicle, causing severe, catastrophic, or fatal injuries. These cases require the assistance of an experienced bus accident lawyer to ensure all legal actions are filed within the legal time limit, which is far shorter when a governmental agency operates the bus.

Determining Liability in a Bus Accident

Bus accidents can be far more complicated than other collisions, as multiple parties may be liable. A full investigation into the facts is necessary when filing a claim or lawsuit. These parties may include the following:

Bus driver: If the driver was distracted, texting, fatigued, drug or alcohol-impaired, or negligently operating the vehicle, they could be named in a claim or lawsuit.
Bus company: The bus company may be liable for failing to adequately maintain the bus and train bus drivers or follow safety protocols.
Other drivers: In some cases, another vehicle on the road may have caused the accident.
Manufacturers: If a defective bus part, such as faulty brakes or tires, contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may be liable.
Governmental agencies: If the bus is operated by a public transportation agency, such as a city bus service, that agency may be responsible for what occurred.

Our Tacoma bus accident attorneys will ensure all liable parties are named in a bus accident injury claim and will fight to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. We prepare every case for trial and have some of the region’s most talented trial attorneys on our team. In many cases, a fair settlement may be achieved through negotiations, and we demand our clients receive fair and full compensation.

Highly recommend! I was in a car accident in November of 2023 and my insurance didn’t do much to help me so I contacted Park Chenaur Law to see if I can get someone that will help me out.

I was in a car accident and tried to deal with the other insurance company on my own. The person I was dealing with was very aggressive and not easy to work with.
