Bus Accident

Bus accidents can lead to devastating injuries due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles and the lack of standard safety restraints for passengers. Whether you’re a passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or occupant of another vehicle, the impact of a bus crash can be life-altering.

At FGH Law Group, we have the experience and resources to take on complex bus accident claims – including those involving public transit, school buses, and private carriers.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Bus crashes often stem from preventable errors, such as:

  • Driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
  • Distracted driving – texting, eating, or adjusting controls
  • Speeding or reckless maneuvering in traffic
  • Improper driver training or licensing
  • Mechanical failure or poor maintenance
  • Defective bus parts or tires
  • Negligence by third-party drivers
  • Failure to obey traffic signals or right-of-way laws
  • Inadequate background checks on drivers
  • Poor road conditions or dangerous construction zones

We conduct a thorough investigation into the crash, including police reports, surveillance footage, and maintenance logs to determine fault.

Our Attorneys handle bus accident cases with expertise, providing full legal support from investigating transit operator negligence to pursuing compensation for injuries, lost wages, and long-term recovery.

Who Is Liable in a Bus Accident?

Bus accident cases can involve multiple liable parties depending on the circumstances:

  • Public transportation authorities or municipalities
  • Private bus companies or charter services
  • School districts and their contractors
  • Maintenance providers or manufacturers
  • Third-party drivers involved in multi-vehicle collisions
  • Bus drivers personally, in cases of gross negligence

Claims against government agencies may involve special rules and shorter filing deadlines, which our team navigates with precision.

Common Bus Accident Injuries

Bus accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, especially when passengers are thrown from their seats. These may include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord damage or paralysis
  • Broken bones or crush injuries
  • Deep lacerations or internal bleeding
  • Psychological trauma and PTSD
  • Burns or smoke inhalation (in fire-related incidents)

Whether minor or life-changing, we make sure your injuries are fully documented and compensated.
