Bus Accident Attorneys

in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming

Whether it is a school bus or a city bus, bus accidents can result in severe physical and emotional injuries to victims. School bus accidents can be among the most devastating because the victims are innocent children.

Bus accident claims can entail a great deal of additional complications. Because most buses are considered common carriers, different rules may apply as compared with accidents that involve only private vehicles. In addition, if one of the parties is a government agency, there may be limitations on your ability to recover damages for a bus accident.

Parties who may be liable for injuries incurred in a bus accident, include:

  • The operator of the bus line
  • The driver of the bus
  • Other involved drivers
  • The bus manufacturer if a defect in the bus itself caused the accident

Unlike most other passenger vehicles, buses generally do not include seat belts or other restraints for passengers. This increases the likelihood of serious injury and trauma, ejection.

Weather, poor vehicle maintenance, driver neglect, and other factors may contribute to a bus accident. Even if the primary reason for the accident was something beyond the control of the driver or the operator of the bus line, their negligence may have exacerbated the effects of the accident and the injuries to the passengers. This is just one reason it is important that you seek legal advice from an experienced bus accident attorney as soon as possible following a bus accident.

Not only will your bus accident attorney help you sort out your case and gather the necessary evidence to support it, but we will also help you ensure that your claims are filed in a timely fashion (this may be particularly important when a government agency is involved) and to ensure your best chances for fair compensation for your injuries.
