Whether you were riding a Houston County school bus, involved in a transit or shuttle crash near Robins Air Force Base, or hit by a private charter on Watson Boulevard, bus accidents can cause serious injuries and complex insurance claims.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent bus passengers, pedestrians, drivers, and children injured in school bus crashes throughout Warner Robins, Perry, Centerville, and Houston County. We investigate every case, determine who’s liable, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Who’s Liable in a Bus Crash?
Bus accidents often involve multiple liable parties, which can make filing a claim complicated—especially when a government agency is involved.
Potentially responsible parties may include:
- The bus driver
- The school district or public transit agency
- A private bus or charter company
- A bus maintenance contractor
- Another vehicle’s driver
We handle both private and public claims, and ensure you meet deadlines for cases involving government agencies.
Common Causes of Bus Accidents
Bus crashes often result from preventable negligence by drivers or operators.
Common causes include:
- Driver distraction or inattention
- Speeding or reckless turns
- Inadequate training or supervision
- Overloaded or improperly secured passengers
- Mechanical failure or poor maintenance
- Unsafe road conditions or traffic violations by other drivers
We gather crash reports, maintenance logs, camera footage, and witness statements to build a strong case.
Common Bus Accident Injuries
Bus accident victims especially passengers without seat belts often suffer serious injuries due to sudden impact or being thrown from seats.
We represent victims with:
- Head and brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
- Internal bleeding and organ injuries
- Lacerations and soft tissue damage
- Wrongful death (in fatal crashes)
We work with medical experts to document your injuries, long-term care needs, and financial losses.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured in a bus crash, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Rehabilitation, therapy, and future treatment
- Lost wages and loss of future income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Funeral and burial expenses (in wrongful death cases)
We fight for full compensation not just what the insurance company is willing to offer.
Why Bus Accident Claims Are More Complex
When a government entity is involved such as a school district or municipal transit system you must follow special rules and shorter deadlines (notice of claim requirements).
At Ted Law Firm, we know how to:
- Preserve evidence and notify the correct agencies
- Handle multi-party claims
- Navigate public vs. private liability
- Prepare for litigation if negotiations fail
