Anytown Bus Accident Attorneys

Bus accidents are often serious crashes that cause significant injuries. At Howard, Fine, Howard, our bus accident lawyers have seen firsthand the severe damage that can occur when a bus collides with a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian. Since 1994, our firm has been committed to helping clients on their individual roads to recovery after an accident. We take pride in fighting on behalf of injured persons to get them the legal remedies they deserve, while seeking to hold those who are responsible legally liable for their actions.

We Can Help You Obtain Damages for Your Injuries

Fortunately, the law provides a wide range of legal remedies for a person injured in a bus accident caused by another's negligence. Bus operators are not only required to be licensed, but also to drive their vehicles with reasonable care. That means obeying traffic signs, speed limits and the other rules of the road, while remaining alert and attentive at all times. Among other negligent behavior, bus accidents are often caused by unsafe activities, such as:

Fall asleep at the wheel
Talking, texting, or surfing the web with a smart phone
Eating and drinking
Operating a bus under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Driving a bus that needs repair or is otherwise unsafe for operation

To recover damages in a personal injury suit stemming from a bus accident, the person suing must not only show that this or other unsafe behavior caused a crash, but also that the accident caused the injuries allegedly suffered. Damages available for successful negligence claims related to bus accidents include missed wages, doctors bills and other medical expenses, property damage and loss and pain and suffering. Further, a victim of a bus accident can also seek to hold the bus company (and its insurer) liable for the negligent acts of a driver, as well as any failure on the company’s part to maintain its vehicles in safe operating condition.

"Attorney Howard represented me on a very large case involving serious injuries. He and his staff were always available to me and Attorney Richards treated me like a member of his family. I always got a call back, whenever I called the office. I feel like Attorney Howard and his staff went above and beyond what I expected from a lawyer. I have referred several friends to Attorney Howard and they have all had similar experiences."
