Bus Accidents
Advocating for passengers and others injured in bus collisions.
Bus accidents can injure dozens of passengers at once, and liability may involve transit agencies, private carriers, drivers, and maintenance contractors.
We represent bus passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians hurt in preventable bus crashes. At Kelso Law Group, our attorneys know how insurers and defense teams evaluate claims because we have defended large companies and carriers — and we use that insight to build stronger cases for our clients.
Common Bus Accident Cases We Handle
Bus injury claims often involve government entities and strict notice deadlines. Common cases include:
- City and public transit bus collisions
- School bus accidents
- Charter and tour bus crashes
- Sudden stop and fall injuries onboard
- Negligent hiring and driver training claims
- Pedestrian and cyclist bus strikes
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you should not have to bear the financial burden alone. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the insurance coverage available.
Depending on your case, compensation may include:
- Emergency care, surgery, therapy, and future medical treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
What To Do After a Bus Accident
Bus accidents may involve multiple injured parties and official investigations. Take these steps:
- Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries take time to appear.
- Call the police or appropriate authorities and make sure an official report is filed.
- Document the scene with photos, witness names, and your own notes while details are fresh.
- Notify your insurance company, but avoid giving a recorded statement to the at-fault party’s insurer.
- Contact Kelso Law Group before accepting any settlement offer. We can investigate liability and fight for full compensation.
