Types of Bus Accident Claims we handle 

Each bus accident case is unique. There are countless factors that contribute to these collisions, and victims can suffer a variety of severe injuries including brain trauma, broken bones, soft tissue injuries, internal organ damage, and many others. The bus accident lawyers handle all types of bus accident cases including:

  • Bus accidents involving public buses;
  • Bus accidents involving school buses;
  • Airport shuttle accidents;
  • Tour bus accidents;
  • Bus accidents involving drowsy and distracted drivers;
  • Bus accidents caused by mechanical failures;
  • Bus accidents involving pedestrians;

Who Can I Sue After a Bus Accident?

Determining liability is often more complicated after bus accidents than after collisions involving regular vehicles. Besides the driver, there are many other parties who may be liable for your damages, and it is possible that multiple parties share a percentage of fault.

The California bus accident lawyers at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers will review the evidence to determine which parties may be liable for your damages.

Those parties might include:

  • A Bus Company
  • Operators of a Tour Bus
  • The Bus Maintenance Company
  • Bus Drivers
  • Auto Part Manufacturers
  • Other drivers 

We Will Make Sure the Insurance Company Treats You Fairly

The California bus accident attorneys at our East Los Angeles chambers have seen firsthand just how devious insurance companies can be when it comes time to file a claim. They employ all sorts of tactics to reduce their liability and find reasons to undervalue and deny claims. Our lawyers will help you stay one step ahead of the insurance company and avoid critical mistakes that would derail your case.

DO NOT SPEAK TO THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER until you have consulted our attorneys. You might be coerced into making a recorded statement that can be used against you. It is also advisable that you stay off social media until your case has been resolved.

During your free initial consultation, our attorneys will explain the steps you should take (and the mistakes you must avoid) to give your claim the best chance of success.
