Bus Accident Lawyers in Phoenix, Arizona

Our Bus Accident Lawyers agree that the use of mass transportation is a good way to save on gas and car expenses. Riding the bus has also gained popularity due to environmental awareness. Unfortunately, the relaxing bus ride may turn dangerous and lead to serious injury if a bus accident should occur.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

The most common bus accidents occur due to cars maneuvering to get around a bus and cars staying in a bus driver's blind spot while the bus driver attempts to make a wide turn. Tire blow outs, inclement weather, low-quality roads, or driver negligence can also cause a bus accident. School buses, mass transit buses, and commercial buses have all experienced collisions due to these circumstances.

Common Bus Accident Injuries

Since buses are not equipped with the same safety features as passenger vehicles, bus passengers are greatly prone to a bus accident injury should there be an impact. These injuries include, but are not limited to, the following:

Claims Involving Minor Children

When a minor (someone under 18 years of age) has a personal injury claim, in many cases, there is an extra set of procedures that apply to protect the interests of the minor. Specifically, the minor, usually through their attorney, will petition the probate court for approval of the minor settlement. This includes the amount of the settlement, the medical expenses to be paid from the settlement, the attorney's fees and costs, and the net settlement for the minor claimant. A more detailed explanation of this process is explained on our Minor Child Injury Pages.

Claims against Government Agencies or Public Entities

When a government or public employee or agency is negligent and causes an injury, there is a markedly different process involved as compared to a claim against an individual or private business. There is a much shorter time frame to bring a claim and a lawsuit. Therefore, there is an increased urgency to obtain legal counsel to timely submit a claim against a government agency or public entity. A more detailed explanation is available on our Government or Public Entities Claims Pages.

Litigation Process

We are able to resolve the overwhelming majority of our cases relatively promptly and without ever having to go to court. However, there are a number of reasons why we would recommend litigation to our clients. When that occurs, our office will thoroughly explain the litigation process, including the risks, benefits, and how it relates to your case before we file litigation.
