Bus Accidents

Fighting for Bus Accident Victims and Their Families

Bus accidents can cause severe injuries and devastating consequences for passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists. Whether involving city buses, school buses, tour buses, or private shuttles, these collisions often lead to complex legal claims due to multiple liable parties, including the bus company, government agencies, and insurance providers. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus accident, our Pasadena bus accident lawyer is ready to protect your rights and fight for maximum compensation.

Understanding Bus Accidents and Your Legal Rights

Unlike regular car crashes, bus accidents involve unique legal challenges. Many buses are operated by government entities or private companies, meaning special rules and regulations may apply to your case. Determining liability can be complicated, especially when negligence, driver error, or mechanical failure play a role.

At Pyramid Legal, we have the knowledge and resources to investigate bus accidents, determine who is responsible, and fight for the maximum compensation possible.

Common Causes of Bus Accidents

Bus accidents often occur due to negligence, including:

  • Driver Fatigue
    Long shifts and demanding schedules can lead to drowsy driving and slower reaction times.

  • Distracted Driving
    Bus drivers using phones, radios, or engaging with passengers can lose focus on the road.

  • Speeding and Reckless Driving
    Large buses require more time to stop, and unsafe driving increases the risk of serious collisions.

  • Mechanical Failures
    Poorly maintained brakes, tires, or engines can lead to accidents caused by vehicle malfunctions.

  • Unsafe Pickups and Drop-offs
    Sudden stops, poor visibility, and lack of proper safety measures can endanger passengers and pedestrians.

  • Negligent Hiring and Training
    Bus companies are responsible for ensuring their drivers are properly trained and qualified.

If you were injured due to any of these factors, Pyramid Legal will work to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Injuries Resulting from Bus Accidents

Due to the size and weight of buses, accidents can cause severe and life-altering injuries, including:

  • Head and Brain Injuries (TBI)
    Bus passengers and pedestrians often suffer concussions and severe head trauma.

  • Spinal Cord Injuries
    High-impact crashes can lead to partial or full paralysis.

  • Broken Bones and Fractures
    Bus collisions often cause severe fractures requiring surgery and rehabilitation.

  • Internal Injuries
    Blunt force trauma can damage organs and lead to life-threatening complications.

  • Lacerations and Burns
    Fires, shattered glass, or crushing injuries may cause permanent scarring.

Victims of bus accidents often require long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, and financial support, making compensation essential for their recovery.
