Houston Bus Accidents

If you’ve been injured in a bus accident and you believe someone else was responsible, contact a bus accident attorney in Houston to hold the negligent parties accountable and seek compensation for your injuries.

When a bus accident occurs, the experience can be scary for everyone involved. Usually, there are numerous passengers in the accident and this can cause anxiety levels to rise. Seatbelts aren’t common on buses, which can increase the risk of injury, as well.

We can investigate your case and make sure all liable parties are named so that your claim value is maximized. A Houston bus accident lawyer from our firm will guide you through the legal process so you feel supported every step of the way.

Why Bus Crashes Occur in Houston

Although bus accidents occur less frequently than car or motorcycle accidents, they’re more likely to happen in urban areas where public transportation is available and the roads are heavily congested. Because of the sheer size of a bus, these drivers may have a harder time avoiding accidents when even the slightest errors are made.

Some of the most common reasons for bus accidents include the following:

• Fatigued drivers
• Untrained drivers
• Improperly loaded buses
• Improperly maintained buses
• Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Bad road or weather conditions

Whether the bus driver is proven to be at fault in a wreck, they still hold a lot of responsibility when driving because multiple lives are in their care.

Possible At-Fault Parties in a Bus Accident

Your bus accident attorney will conduct an investigation of your wreck to determine how the accident occurred, why it occurred, and what parties can be held liable for the wreck. In some cases, more than one party may be held responsible depending on the circumstances of the collision.

For example, if the wreck was caused by both the bus driver’s negligence and assisted by a bus manufacturer defect, then the driver or their employer and the bus manufacturer will be liable for all injuries.

Once the defendants in your case are named, your attorney will assess the damages you’ve suffered and begin incorporating these into your overall claim value.

Damages You Can Recover from a Bus Wreck

Both economic and non-economic damages will be examined in your bus accident. Economic damages include any financial losses you’ve suffered from the accident, such as medical expenses from injuries, property damages, and loss of income from being out of work.

Non-economic damages may include ways in which the bus wreck affected your lifestyle, such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, or loss of enjoyment of life.
