BUS ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

Claims Against Private & City Buses

It is rare for a bus accident to not result in life-changing injuries. The massive size and weight of these vehicles add up to a devastating force in a collision. In a wreck, bus passengers and other motorists can be severely injured due to one wrong decision by the bus driver.

Were you riding in a bus in Fort Worth when it crashed? Were you driving down the street when a negligent bus driver hit you? In either situation, Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers can help you file and pursue a bus accident claim. We know what it takes to bring a strong claim against the opposition, whether you were hit by city bus, private bus, or charter bus.

What Causes Bus Accidents?

Bus accidents can be caused by a number of forms of negligence. It will be our job as your chosen legal representatives to investigate the crash to figure out just what happened. We can collect different types of evidence like eyewitness statements, police reports, and more. The proof that we compile can help us narrow right into the cause and then assign liability to the correct defendant.

Negligence that can cause a bus accident includes:

Bus Accident Injuries

People who are injured in bus accidents often suffer catastrophic injuries, such as:

Motorists hit by a bus can suffer these severe injuries because the smaller car can put up very little resistance to the impact of the much larger bus. On the other hand, passengers on a bus can be severely injured because buses have no seatbelts or other forms of restraint. If the bus is hit by a commercial truck or another bus, or if it rolls or flips, then it can be devastating to all people inside.

Who Owes You Compensation?

The compensation that you are owed after being in a bus accident will depend on what party caused the accident. Usually, the bus driver and their employer share liability. If the bus driver is an employee, then the legal rule of respondeat superior allows you to demand full compensation from the bus company that employed them, which can be a private company or a municipal agency. If the bus driver is an independent contractor, then it can be more difficult to get compensation. We might have to first file against any commercial insurance policies held by the bus driver and exhaust them before moving onto the employer if possible.

If the bus accident was caused by a third-party driver, then that driver might be fully liable for your damages. Such a situation is problematic, though, because auto insurance policies held by individual drivers are usually limited when compared to a policy held by a bus company. If many passengers were injured in the crash, then there might not be much insurance money from the driver to go around. This is why it is so important to create a strong claim right away with the help of an attorney.
