Bus Accident Attorney

Bus Accident Attorneys at Ironclad Injury Law

Bus accidents are among the most catastrophic types of motor vehicle accidents, often resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities. Due to the size and weight of buses, as well as the number of passengers they typically carry, these accidents can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial consequences for victims. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident, you need an experienced legal team that understands the complexities of these cases and can fight for the compensation you deserve. At Ironclad Injury Law, our dedicated bus accident attorneys are committed to providing top-tier legal representation to victims in Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Boca Raton.

Why You Need a Bus Accident Attorney

Bus accidents involve a unique set of challenges that make them different from other types of motor vehicle accidents. Multiple parties may be liable, including the bus driver, the bus company, and even the government entity responsible for maintaining the road. Additionally, the injuries sustained in bus accidents are often more severe due to the lack of safety features such as seat belts, making it crucial to have a skilled attorney who can navigate the legal landscape and secure the compensation you deserve.

At Ironclad Injury Law, our bus accident attorneys have extensive experience handling these complex cases. We understand the various factors that can contribute to a bus accident, from driver negligence to mechanical failures, and we know how to hold the responsible parties accountable. Our team is dedicated to helping you recover the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

The Complexities of Bus Accident Cases

Bus accident cases are inherently complex for several reasons:

1. Multiple Liable Parties

Determining liability in a bus accident case can be challenging due to the number of parties involved. In addition to the bus driver, other potential defendants may include:

• The bus company
• The bus manufacturer
• Maintenance providers
• Government entities responsible for road conditions
• Other motorists involved in the accident

Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties and build a strong case on your behalf.

2. Insurance Companies

Bus companies and government entities often have powerful insurance companies representing their interests. These insurers are notorious for offering lowball settlements or denying claims altogether. As a former insurance defense attorney, Stephen Murray, Esq., the Owner and Lead Counsel at Ironclad Injury Law, has firsthand knowledge of how these companies operate. He understands their tactics and is uniquely positioned to negotiate on your behalf, ensuring you receive the maximum compensation available.

3. Severe Injuries and High Stakes

Bus accidents often result in severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and even fatalities. The stakes are high, and the financial burdens can be overwhelming. Our attorneys are experienced in handling high-stakes cases and are committed to securing the compensation you need to cover all your expenses and losses.

Types of Bus Accidents We Handle

• School Bus Accidents: School bus accidents can be particularly devastating, especially when children are involved. We represent families whose children have been injured in these accidents, ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.

• Charter Bus Accidents: Charter buses are often used for long-distance travel, and accidents involving these vehicles can lead to serious injuries for passengers. We help victims of charter bus accidents recover compensation for their injuries.
• Tour Bus Accidents: Tour buses are popular for sightseeing and travel, but accidents involving these vehicles can turn a vacation into a nightmare. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping tour bus accident victims get the compensation they need to recover.
• Interstate Bus Accidents: Interstate buses, such as those operated by Greyhound or Megabus, are involved in accidents that can cross state lines, adding another layer of complexity to the case. Our attorneys have the experience to handle these complicated cases and pursue claims across multiple jurisdictions.

What to Do After a Bus Accident

If you are involved in a bus accident, the steps you take immediately afterward can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here’s what you should do:

1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to get checked out by a medical professional, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
2. Document the Scene: If possible, take photos of the accident scene, including the bus, any other vehicles involved, your injuries, and any relevant signs or signals.
3. Gather Information: Collect the contact information of the bus driver, any other drivers involved, witnesses, and the responding police officers. Be sure to note the bus company’s name, the bus number, and the driver’s license information.
4. Report the Accident: File a police report and notify your insurance company about the accident, but be cautious about providing too much information until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
5. Contact a Bus Accident Attorney: Bus accident cases are complex, and it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side from the start. Contact Ironclad Injury Law at (402) 541-5867 or email us at info@ironcladinjurylaw.com for a free consultation.
