Palm Springs Bus Accident Lawyer

Reliable Legal Support After Bus Accidents 

Even though buses are far larger than the average car on the road and tend to be carrying many more passengers, they are permitted to run with relatively relaxed safety measures. Passengers often stand or walk around while the bus is in motion, and seat belt usage typically goes unenforced for those who are sitting. In the case of an accident, these lax safety measures can lead to serious injuries for bus passengers, cars, and pedestrians on the road.

Given the inherent safety hazards of buses and the fact that many parties may be liable when a bus accident occurs, the assistance of a Palm Springs bus accident attorney can be key in securing compensation for the damages you have experienced.

Understanding Bus Accident Liability

At Christopher C. Vader PC, we understand that establishing liability is key. When a bus driver causes an accident, the liability typically lies with the bus driver’s company, the bus maintenance company, or the state or local government who run the bus system. Bus companies tend to do all they can to minimize the damage, refute your injury claims, and offer significantly less than your pain and suffering warrants.

When the bus in question is owned and operated by the government, making a claim is even more difficult. There are stricter guidelines in place with a much more unforgiving statute of limitations that require quick action. It is crucial to have a Palm Springs bus accidents lawyer with an understanding of California state laws to help protect your rights and make sure you do not miss deadlines.

Maximizing Your Compensation for Bus Accident Injuries

At Christopher C. Vader PC, we fight for you to receive the greatest amount of compensation possible under California law.

You may be eligible to receive compensation for damages related to any of the following:

• Medical expenses, including initial hospital costs, rehabilitation, and therapy
• Lost wages for the time you were unable to work

If you are suffering due to a bus accident, we know that the last thing you want to do is become involved in a drawn-out legal battle with large bus companies or the government.
